Building, plumbing and electrical permits are issued by the Borough Building Department under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. The office is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 9:00 AM to 5:15 PM, Tuesday 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Friday 9:00 AM to noon.
Flooding
Bogota borders the Hackensack River, and FEMA's county Flood Insurance Study lists river flood elevations at the borough's corporate limits. The study says flooding in southern Bergen County is driven largely by tidal stages of Newark Bay acting on the Hackensack River.
The National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE) within the borough. The Borough's OEM page lists floods among its emergency types and floodplain management among its mitigation activities. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Permits in Bogota
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Borough of Bogota construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
