The
NJ Department of Community Affairs (DCA), Division of Codes and
Standards, has the authority to establish building codes for the
state of New Jersey. Most communities have a municipal construction
office that will enforce the state codes.
The current list of all construction code currently
adopted by the state is available through the Division’s website,
http://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/codes/codreg. Many of the
codes are available to view online from the Division’s site for
free, but they cannot be printed or downloaded.
The Library maintains most of the New Jersey codes
in print form available to use and photocopy within the library.
The following is a list of the more popular codes. The Vogelson
branch in Voorhees also keeps many prior editions of the code books
for research. Please contact the library if you have any questions
about our code collection.
These codes can also be found in the New Jersey
Administrative Code, available at the Vogelson branch.
