South Brunswick
Building Department
The South Brunswick Code Enforcement Department administers the NJ Uniform Construction Code for one of Middlesex County's fastest-growing townships — heavy residential, warehouse, and logistics activity along the Route 1 / Exit 8A corridor. ClearPath knows the forms, the subcode officials, and the process, and files it right the first time.

How Long Permits Take
New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code requires the construction official to approve or deny a complete application within 20 business days. In practice, timing depends on how clean the package is — every correction notice restarts the review, so getting the F100 jacket and each subcode section right the first time is what keeps a South Brunswick permit on the 20-day track.
Fees follow the NJ Uniform Construction Code schedule and are calculated from the estimated value of the work and the device and fixture counts, not a flat rate — a small circuit addition and a full 200A service upgrade carry very different permit costs. Rather than quote a number that can go stale, we give you the exact figure for your job up front.
PSE&G ESI Applications
South Brunswick is in PSE&G territory. Any change in service amperage — 100A to 200A, 200A to 400A — requires a separate PSE&G ESI application, reviewed centrally, independent of the township permit. File it the same day as the municipal permit so the two clocks run in parallel instead of stacking end to end.

Who Reviews Your Permit
South Brunswick runs its own Code Enforcement Department — a Construction Official plus four subcode officials for Building, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire, all licensed by the NJ Department of Community Affairs. Each reviews the trade they are responsible for, and inspectors licensed in that subcode handle the field inspections. Because plan review is split across the four subcodes, a package that is complete for every trade involved moves through far faster than one that is missing a section.
One distinction that trips people up: the construction office issues permits and certificates of occupancy for new construction, but resale (continued-occupancy) certificates are handled by the township Zoning office at (732) 329-4000 ext. 7240 — not the building department.

Do I need a PSE&G application for a South Brunswick electrical permit?
Yes. South Brunswick is in PSE&G territory, so any change in service amperage (for example 100A to 200A, or 200A to 400A) requires a separate PSE&G ESI application, reviewed centrally, independent of the township permit. Filing it the same day as the municipal permit lets the two run in parallel.
