Construction permit filing for contractors in NJ, NY, CT, PA and DE
You send the address, the scope and the signed or sealed pages. We find the office that issues the permit there, prepare its application — the NJ Uniform Construction Code F100 in New Jersey, the issuing office's own form elsewhere — confirm how it takes submissions, file it, and follow it until it is issued. You stay the contractor of record. Some contractors call this a permit expediter; we call it filing the permit.
- Anywhere in New Jersey. All 21 counties, any municipality. We file as the owner's authorized agent under the agent section of the state application.
- New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Every county. The city, town, village, borough or township from each state's own list, and the county or state office where that office issues instead — a Delaware county, or Pennsylvania's Department of Labor & Industry for commercial work where a municipality opted out of the UCC (residential work there goes through a certified third-party agency the owner hires). New York City jobs are prepared for DOB NOW and filed by a licensed professional or registered filing representative.
- $250 flat, plan review included. Over-the-counter replacements and plan-review jobs cost the same. Multiple subcodes on one job are one filing.
- Municipal fees at cost. The town's permit fee is paid to the town and passed through exactly. Never marked up, never a cut. You get the receipt.
- Corrections refiled free. If the town returns it, we fix it and refile at no charge, whatever the reason.
- Your first permit is free. We prepare and file it at no charge, one per account and per property address. No card required, no automatic charges. Municipal fees are separate.
- The portal, with every filing. The permit assistant, saved jobs, the hand-off, send to the township and job tracking come with a single filing as much as with a plan.

PERMIT ASSISTANT
Writes the NJ UCC F100 from a plain description
Describe the job the way you would to your crew. The assistant fills the state construction permit application, every value on its printed line, with your business details carried in from your profile. Download the draft as the official PDF. Signature and seal blocks are left for you.
SAVED DETAILS AND SAVED JOBS
Type your business block once
Your company details are saved and reused on every job. A job you cannot finish today is saved whole, so you can put it down and pick it up later from any device.
HAVE US FILE IT
Hand the job to us, with a two-hour reply
Rather not do it yourself? Hand the job to us from the portal. Everything you have already filled in comes with it, so nothing is typed twice, and we get back to you within two hours, guaranteed.
SEND TO THE TOWNSHIP
Upload the signed application and send it
Where the town verifiably accepts email, the signed application goes straight to its construction office and you are copied. Where it does not, you get a ready packet with that town's own instructions: its portal link, its office hours, or the address to bring it to.
JOB TRACKING
Status from New to Approved
Every job you send while logged in appears on your dashboard with its current status, the documents on file, and what was sent where and when.
Permit requirements by New Jersey town, verified
Fees, copies required, forms, the portal, the submission email, office hours and who to contact, for New Jersey municipalities. Every fact is quoted from the town's own website with the date we confirmed it, and where we have not confirmed something we say so rather than guess.
The same knowledge drives the portal: it is how send-to-township knows whether a town takes email, and how the assistant knows what a town wants with the application.
Free permit checker
Describe a job on the homepage and learn what permits it needs: the subcode it falls under, the paperwork involved, and the things that usually get that kind of application returned. No account and no email required.
A first read, not a filing
Every municipality runs its own construction office. The checker tells you what the state code generally wants; a filing tells you what that office wants.
For homeowners
Find a contractor who works in your town
Contractors who file through us can choose to be listed publicly, with the trades they do and the towns they cover. The list is not a ranking and nobody pays to be on it.
Describe it once. Make a useful connection.
Tell us what you need done and where. After we confirm the request, contractors covering that town and trade can privately confirm interest. You review the named contractor and choose email or phone before your contact details are shared.

Questions people ask about permit filing in New Jersey
How much does it cost to file a building permit in NJ?
Two separate costs. The municipal permit fee is set by each town, usually from the value of the work, and is paid to the town. Our filing fee is $250 flat for any permit with plan review included, or $150, $120 or $100 a filing on a monthly plan of 5, 10 or 25 used in full. Corrections are refiled free and municipal fees are never marked up.
Can someone file my construction permit for me in New Jersey?
Yes. The state construction permit application has an agent section for an applicant filing on the owner's authorization, and New Jersey has no state license for permit filing. We file as that agent. The contractor remains the contractor of record and signs their own subcode technical sections; we never sign or seal for anyone.
How long does a New Jersey construction permit take?
The town sets the timeline, not us. New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code gives the construction official 20 business days to act on a complete application, and many simple permits are issued sooner. A complete packet filed the way that office wants it is the biggest thing that shortens the wait, which is why we confirm each town's requirements before filing. We aim to have a packet ready for your signature within one business day.
What is the NJ UCC F100 form?
The F100 is the Construction Permit Application published by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the same form in every municipality. The subcode technical sections attach to it: F110 building, F120 electrical, F130 plumbing, F140 fire protection and F145 mechanical. The permit assistant fills the F100 from a plain description of the job; you sign your own technical sections.
Do I need a permit to finish a basement in NJ?
Almost always. Finishing a basement means framing, electrical and usually plumbing or mechanical work, which the Uniform Construction Code requires a permit for. Run the job through the free permit checker for a first read, then confirm with your town's construction office or send us the job.
Is the contractor portal extra?
No. The permit assistant, saved jobs, the two-hour hand-off, send to the township, job tracking and the town knowledge come with a single $250 filing and with every monthly plan. The plans differ only in filings per month and price per filing.
