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.

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.
