Licensing & Certification Guide

Before you can rent out a one- or two-family home, you need an inspection and certificate that confirms the following devices are installed and working:

• Smoke detectors
• Carbon monoxide detectors
• Fire extinguishers

Contact your Local Enforcing Agency (LEA) to schedule an inspection. Your LEA can be the local fire department or the state Division of Fire Safety.

If your nonprofit plans to serve or sell alcohol in open containers at an event, you need a Social Affair Permit. This permit is given by New Jersey’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). Submit your application at least 22 days before the event date.
