North Brunswick Building Permits: When You Need Three Plan Sets
North Brunswick asks for three sets of plans on two common jobs: building additions and finished basements. Everything else that needs drawings takes two. Check your project in the table before you print, so you only make one trip.
Plan sets by project
| Project | Plan sets | Survey with zoning permit | Extra items the township lists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building addition | 3 | Yes, showing where the addition goes | Riser diagram if plumbing is added, moved or changed |
| Finished basement | 3 | Not listed | Riser diagram if plumbing is added, moved or changed |
| Interior alteration or remodel | 2 | Not listed | Riser diagram if plumbing is added, moved or changed |
| Deck | 2 | Yes, showing the deck location | Certification of No Change in Existing Grades |
| Generator | 2 | Yes, showing the generator location | Spec sheet or brochure for the model |
| Swimming pool | 2 | Yes, showing the pool location | Pool spec sheet or brochure |
| Solar panels | 2 | Not listed | Solar system specifications |
| Sign | 2 | Not listed | Sign specifications |
| Roof replacement (commercial, townhouse, condo, multi-family) | 2 | Not listed | Building Subcode Form |
Re-roofing a detached single-family or two-family home is ordinary maintenance in North Brunswick and needs no permit. Water heaters, furnaces, EV chargers and sump pumps need permit forms but no plan sets.
The forms that ride along with your plans
With the plans, the township lists a Construction Permit Application, the technical subcode forms that apply (building, electrical, fire protection, mechanical, plumbing), a Certification of Disposal of Building Materials, and for additions, decks, generators and pools a Certification of No Change in Existing Grades. If a contractor does the work, include a copy of their New Jersey license.

Printing three sets without the hassle
For an addition, that is three identical full-size sets, plus the survey for the zoning permit. Print every sheet at the size it was drawn so the scale on the plans stays true. Upload your PDF, pick 18×24, 24×36, 30×42, 36×46 or 36×48 and set the quantity to 3. Black and white is $1.95 a sheet and color is $3.75 a sheet, the same at every size (pricing). Order by 3 PM ET, ships same day, arrives as soon as the next day.
