Do I need a permit for bathroom remodel in Millstone Township?
It depends. Whether bathroom remodel needs a permit in Millstone Township comes down to the details of your project.
Ordinary maintenance includes replacing a fixture with a similar one with no change in piping, replacing faucets, valves (including shower valves), and traps, installing bathroom accessories and cabinets, new flooring, and replacing a bath exhaust fan that vents to the outdoors (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)). Adding fixtures in existing space without enlarging the water distribution system, water service, or house drain, and renovation that alters no structural member, are minor work: a permit is required, but work may start after notice (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.17A). Relining a fixture, relocating piping, or new wiring is not ordinary maintenance, and licensed trades are required unless a single-family homeowner does the work on their own home (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7 and 2.15(b)2i).
