Residential building, plumbing and electrical permits are issued by the Montvale Construction Office (Building and Construction Department) (official page). The borough's page notes that homeowners are responsible for scheduling inspections, and cites New Jersey law (N.J.A.C. 13:45A-16.2) requiring final inspections before final payment to contractors.
