Requirements For Continued Certificate Of Inspection
Resales Or Rentals
Application for Certificate of Inspection
- A physical inspection of the property must be scheduled. After submitting the application and paying the $75 fee, requests for inspection may be made by calling the phone number listed above. You may call anytime and leave your request on the voice mail.
- A list of violations and necessary repairs will be provided to you. Once you have made the required repairs, a re-inspection is required. This re-inspection is included in the original fee. If additional inspections are required, there is a $50.00 fee per inspection.
- Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors will be tested by the Township Inspector during the physical inspection of your property, unless you have a monitored system. In that case, you must provide certification from the monitoring agency that your system is operating correctly.
- The following certifications are required in order to receive a Continued Certificate of Occupancy. Original certifications are required. Photocopies or faxes will NOT be accepted:
- Certification that your heater is operating correctly.
- Certification for your heater chimney.
- Certification for any wood burning fireplaces or woodstoves.
- Certification for fireplace or woodstove chimneys.
If the property is serviced by well water, you must have the water tested by a certified testing agency, and the buyer or tenant must certify that they have been made aware of those test results. (A form is attached which can be used for this purpose.)
All violations must be corrected and re-inspected and all certifications must be received in order to process the Continued Certificate of Occupancy. When all requirements have been met, three (3) business days are needed to generate the Certificate. Please allow yourself enough time prior to closing.
