There are new resale requirements as of February 3rd, 2025. Please see our document at the link above outlining requirements for a resale inspection. All requirements are compliant with the New Jersey Fire Code and meet the requirements set forth by the State of New Jersey.

If you are selling your home in Toms River, you are required to schedule an appointment with the Toms River Bureau of Fire Prevention for a resale inspection. Appointments will be scheduled upon completion of an application.

It is a violation of the Uniform Fire Code (N.J.A.C. – 5:70-2.3) to close without a Certificate of Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm Compliance. This violation is subject to a $500 penalty.

Inspection Fees:

  • Initial Inspection: $75.00
  • 1st Re-Inspection: No Charge
  • Additional Re-Inspections: $35 per re-inspection
  • Appointment No Show: $75 in addition to inspection fee
  • Duplicate copy of Certificate: $30

Due to high scheduling demand, applications should be submitted at least 3 weeks in advance of closing date. Certificates expire 6 months from the date of issuance. Certificates must be obtained every time there is a transfer of title.
