Construction, Code Enforcement & Inspections

Our Department of Code Enforcement and Inspections has been established to insure compliance with all state, county and local codes for public safety.

Code enforcement, sometimes encompassing law enforcement, is the act of enforcing a set of rules, principles, or laws (especially written ones) and ensuring observance of a system of norms or customs.

Before starting any home improvement project, it is recommended that you call the Construction Office to determine whether a permit is needed. Please call 609-267-1891, extension 5 or email the Construction and Zoning Officer at rholshue@westampton.com. For a general overview, click here.
