Bayonne Permits: What to Know

Bayonne operates under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. The Bayonne Department of Inspections handles all subcode permits — electrical (F120), fire (F140), plumbing (F160), mechanical (F170), and construction jacket (F100). Most work on residential and commercial buildings requires a permit before starting.

Bayonne is in PSE&G territory for most addresses, with some areas served by JCP&L. For service upgrades and changes, the utility ESI application must be filed simultaneously with the municipal F120 — not after. ClearPath identifies the correct utility and files both on the same day.

Typical Bayonne electrical permit turnaround: 10–18 business days for residential jobs. Service upgrade projects with utility coordination: 3–5 weeks.
