What this form is
Penns Grove uses this application to review proposed construction, structural alterations, changes in use, solar energy systems, and certain temporary uses before work begins. The applicant submits Parts B through D with the required survey or plot plan, supporting documents, and fee; if the applicant is not the owner, the owner must also complete the notarized consent in Part D. Building or structural work also requires a separate floodplain application, and a zoning permit does not replace other required approvals.
Who needs it
A property owner or other applicant seeking Borough zoning approval for covered construction, a new or changed use, a solar system, or a temporary use must file this application.
Why it needs a notary
Part D carries an acknowledgment, which the property owner or an authorized entity representative signs before a notary when the applicant is not the owner of record.

- New Jersey has permanently authorized remote online notarization for its own notaries since October 2021 (P.L. 2021, c.179; N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.9 et seq.). Confirm the Borough accepts the remotely notarized consent before filing.
- Where do I submit the completed application?
