Construction Records Clearance - Are you Selling your Home?

On April 8, 2009, an ordinance was passed requiring a CONSTRUCTION RECORDS CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE (CRC) be obtained. This certificate is required on the sale of all residential and commercial properties. The application should be filed by the seller or the seller’s agent. 

The purpose of the CRC is to ensure that all permits obtained through the building department for a particular Block and Lot have been inspected and closed by the appropriate Sub-code (inspector). 

An application for a CRC can be obtained through the Building Department located at 242 Little York-Mt. Pleasant Road, Milford, NJ or by calling Marianna Voorhees at (908) 996-7071 ext. 211. The cost of the application is $50.00 payable to Alexandria Township. 

The application for a CRC should be submitted at least 30 business days prior to the closing date. 

A Smoke Detector Certification is also required prior to selling your home. You can contact our Fire Marshall, Mike Gianonne at 908-612-3592 to schedule an appointment.
