Zoning/Building Permits
West Windsor requires a zoning permit for all land development, which is defined as “the division of a parcel into two or more parcels, the construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration, relocation, or enlargement of any building or other structure, or any mining, excavation, site preparation, or landfill, and any change in the use of any building or other structure, or land, or extension of use of land.” Zoning permits are issued by the Zoning Administrator. In certain situations (e.g. for a subdivision, variance, or conditional use, or for development in a floodplain) approval by the Development Review Board (DRB) is required before a zoning permit can be issued. The DRB also hears appeals from decisions of the Zoning Administrator. Please refer to the "Zoning & Planning" section for more information. For specific zoning questions, please contact Deb Shearer at 802-484-3520.
