Zoning Permit Application
East Orange property owners and applicants use this application to request zoning review for proposed work or changes in property use.
What this form is
This application requests zoning review for a property’s existing and proposed uses and construction or additions. Applicants provide property, owner, and project details, describe the work, and indicate whether site plan, historic preservation, or variance approval was required or granted. The city instructs applicants to attach plans and other applicable supporting documents; certain replacement and maintenance projects should contact Code Enforcement instead.
