Please be advised that we have circulated your request for "tax liens and
tax sale certifications, unpaid taxes" and for "record of oil tank
removal" only. However, for your convenience, the Construction Official’s
Office has indicated that the requested permit records, as well as
inspections, code cases, violations, licenses, fire, zoning, etc., are
available on-line and may be located on the www.jcnj.org/permitportal
where you can register and research any property in Jersey City.  Please
note that any permit prior to the latter part of 2006, based upon the NJ
Permit extension act, will be deemed abandoned; after that it is
considered open; to close the permit it will require an inspection.
 
With regards to your request for "survey", please be advised the City does
not maintain survey records, nor does the City surveys any property,
unless it is a City-owned property.  Therefore, no records exist.  You
will need to retain your own surveyor.
 
Also, please note the City does not maintain any water/septic/sewer
records.  For information pertaining to water, sewers and/or septic
systems we suggest that you contact the following autonomous agency:

Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority
555 State Highway 440
Jersey City, New Jersey 07305
Telephone #:  201-432-1150
