Town guides in Middlesex County
Before you close in Middlesex County
Check these with the municipality and your attorney before you close on a rental or rehab in Middlesex County.
- Landlord registration. File a landlord registration statement with the municipal clerk for 1–2 unit properties, or with the NJ Department of Community Affairs for most buildings with 3 or more units.
- Certificate of occupancy. Many towns require a CO or continued CO inspection when a property sells or a new tenant moves in. Ask the town before you set a closing or lease date.
- Lead-safe certification. Under P.L. 2021, c.182, many rentals built before 1978 need a lead-based paint inspection at tenant turnover or on the state's schedule.
- Flood zone and insurance. Check the FEMA flood map. If the property is in a special flood hazard area, include flood insurance in the payment.
- Entity in good standing. Keep your LLC's annual report current with the NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services so title can insure the closing.
