Residential building, plumbing and electrical permits are issued by the Allendale Construction Code Office (Construction and Zoning) (official page).

Flooding
Allendale's mapped flood hazards follow Ho-Ho-Kus Brook, Allendale Brook, Valentine Brook and Ramsey Brook. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows these streams in the borough, and its flood hazard zones layer shows Special Flood Hazard Area Zone AE, including regulatory floodway, inside borough limits. Zone AE is FEMA's 1% annual-chance (100-year) flood zone, and homes in high-risk zones with mortgages from federally regulated or insured lenders must carry flood insurance (summarized on a neighboring Bergen County borough's flood page). To check a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Permits in Allendale
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Borough of Allendale construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
