FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS Residential: Zoning and Building permits are required for
most home improvement projects, including additions, decks,
sheds, raised patios, fences, cabanas, and swimming pools. Zoning permits take approximately ten business days to process.
The cost is $50. You will be called when your permit is ready
to be picked up. When submitting your application, you need to provide a
current sealed survey of the property certified to present
owners. You must also make a copy (do not shrink or enlarge
the original survey since it distorts the scales) of the
sealed survey showing the proposed work drawn to scale. Provide
the setback of the property, height of construction, and
dimensions of all additions, decks, sheds, fences, etc. You can find by checking the Township of Livingston Zoning
Map in the Building or Zoning departments. The map is also
available in the Township Clerks office for $5 or online
at http://www.livingstonnj.org/zoningmap.pdf A setback line is a line that is the required minimum distance
from any lot line and that establishes the area within which
the principal structure may be erected or placed. You can call 973-992-2239 ext. 17 or in person at the Township
of Livingston Zoning Department.
