Great News: Construction code Penalty AMNESTY for Bernards Township

During the month of May 2007, there will be a "one time only" construction code AMNESTY in Bernards Twp. If you have had work performed on your home and did not apply for the proper construction permits, you can apply for a permit during the month of May 2007 ONLY, WITHOUT being assessed a penalty.

This is wonderful news and a great time to take advantage of this offer. It seems like so many homeowners have done something, even if it was very small, that required a permit but they didn't realize it.

So check with the construction code office located at 277 S. Maple Ave. Forms will also be available during Charter day on May 19th at the construction code booth. You only have from May 1 to May 31, 2007 to apply. You can also go to http://www.bernards.org. This will outline the requirements for applying for the permits "after the fact".  If you try to sell your home without the proper permits, the fines could be significant or you could possibly not be able to close if work was not performed according to code. So now is your chance!!!
