The borough Building Department at 67 Union Ave is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It lists the Construction Official (also Zoning Officer) and building, plumbing and electrical subcode officials, so all three permit types are handled in one office.

Flooding

FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE, including regulatory floodways) in Cresskill along Tenakill Brook, Cresskill Brook and Demarest Brook, plus 0.2%-annual-chance (Zone X shaded) areas; most of the borough is mapped as minimal flood hazard. Bergen County's current FEMA flood maps took effect on August 28, 2019. The borough has a stormwater page but no flood-specific page was found. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.

Permits in Cresskill

Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Borough of Cresskill construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
