For most remodels, yes. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, changing walls and building additions need a construction permit (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14); painting, flooring, cabinets and like-for-like fixture swaps are ordinary maintenance and do not (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7). Richwood is not its own municipality; it lies mostly in Harrison Township, so permits come from the Harrison Township construction office: 114 Bridgeton Pike, Mullica Hill, NJ 08062, (856) 478-6522 (N.J. Department of Community Affairs roster). If your tax bill names a different municipality, use that one's office. The office must approve or deny a complete application within 20 business days (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.16).
