The Unit within the Bureau of Code Services is responsible
for the licensing and education of individuals as Uniform Construction
Code (UCC) and Housing Code officials and inspectors. The unit coordinates
training programs and distributes information concerning the requirements
to be a licensed code official within the State of New Jersey. Courses
required for licensure are provided through the county college system
and administered through our unit. Information regarding the most recent
state-wide schedule of courses can be found below or by calling our
office.
While
all necessary information for licensing is contained on this Web page,
as well as all the required application forms, we are unable to accept
on-line applications at this time. To apply for a license you must either
call the office for a hard copy application package, or download and
print the applicable forms and mail them into the licensing office.
A candidate for a license of any type issued pursuant to the UCC
shall submit an application to the Code Officials Licensing Unit, Bureau
of Code Services, accompanied by a required non refundable application
fee. For more information concerning licensing as a code official, you
may contact the Unit by telephone at (609) 984-7834, T.D.D (609)
633-6804. You may also e-mail the Unit at codeslicensing@dca.state.nj.us.
