Important notice regarding Home Elevation Contractors

Home elevation contractors are required to register with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. The law defines home elevation as raising an entire residential or non-commercial structure to a higher level above the ground. The law requires that persons who offer to perform, engage in or attempt to engage in the business of home elevations are registered with the Division as  home elevation contractors and that the registration is in effect and certified to when applying for a permit to perform a home elevation.

Repairs to Substantially Damaged Structures

If your home or business incurred damage, the Construction Department will need to determine if your structure has been substantially damaged. Substantially damaged means the cost to make your necessary repairs will meet or exceed 50% of the value of the structure. In Lavallette, we use the assessed value to make that determination.

If you structure is substantially damaged, you may qualify for additional insurance money through the FEMA Increased Cost of Compliance Program (ICC).
