Read moreWhat is true in Morristown
Three things that are true in Morristown and not three towns over.
- 01
Open permits close before a sale or rental
Morristown says every open building permit has to be closed before a home is sold or rented, so unfinished electrical work can hold up a closing or a new lease.
- 02
An inspection at every sale and tenant change
Every home sale and every new tenancy in Morristown needs a Certificate of Habitability, and the inspector checks for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers.
- 03
Almost two thirds of homes are rented
About 63% of occupied homes in Morristown are rented, so a lot of the electrical work here is for landlords between tenants.

Before you call, in Morristown
My address says Morristown. Which office issues my permit?
It depends on the town line, not the ZIP. The Town of Morristown issues permits from Town Hall at 200 South Street, while Morris Township, which surrounds the town and also uses Morristown 07960 addresses, has its own office at 50 Woodland Avenue. Your tax bill shows which one you are in.
Source: morristwp.comDo I need an electrical inspection before I sell or rent in Morristown?
You need a Certificate of Habitability inspection before a sale and before each new tenant moves in, and the town wants every open building permit closed first. If electrical work was done under a permit that never got its final inspection, close it before you list.
Source: townofmorristown.orgHow long does Morristown take to review a permit?
The town says it has up to 20 business days to review a permit application, and most reviews finish sooner. An electrical permit is its own application, and its inspection is booked separately.
