This
information comes from building permits and certificates of occupancy.
Every month, construction officials submit reports on building permits
and certificates of occupancy. Information from these permits and
certificates provide useful indicators on the level of construction
activity in the State, the type of structures that are built, the
number of dwelling units authorized for construction and completed,
the square footage of nonresidential space, and the estimated cost
of construction. Building permits provide measures on the start
of the construction process. Certificates of occupancy give indicators
on the end of the construction process, when buildings are completed
and ready for occupancy. Construction data are one of the few indicators
available from every town every month.
Building
Permits
Local
construction officials issue building permits for new construction, additions,
and alterations. New construction permits are for new buildings. Permits
for additions authorize work that adds space to an existing structure.
Alterations also are for work on existing buildings, but no new space
is added. Examples of alterations include tenant fit ups, new roofs,
and repairs to existing structures.
The following
indicators are reported from building permits:
Tables
are provided by month in Excel and PDF formats.

Demolition
Permits
A demolition permit authorizes the removal of an existing building. A
construction official may issue a demolition permit for a residential
or nonresidential structure. For demolitions that result in the loss
of a dwelling unit (a house or apartment), we report the number of dwellings
lost. For nonresidential demolitions, we report the number of demolition
permits issued.

Certificates
of Occupancy
Construction officials issue certificates of occupancy
at the end of the construction process, when buildings are complete
and ready for occupancy. The following information is especially
useful to calculate fair-share housing obligations under rules adopted
and administered by the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH).

New
Home Warranties
New
Jersey requires nearly every new house in the State be protected
by a new home warranty to insure against major and minor defects
that may result after construction. Most new dwellings are covered
by warranties; the exceptions are apartments and new houses built
directly by the homeowners themselves. Every three months, warranty
companies send to the Department of Community Affairs information
on the number of new homes enrolled in a new home warranty program.
This information is used by the Department to create a central
registry. It also is the basis for quarterly tables on the median
and average sales prices of new homes.
