About each permit

County Planning Board Site Plan Review (Development on or Draining to a County Road)

Section II of the Passaic County Site Plan Resolution states that, prior to the issuance of any building permit by a municipal building official, the site plan for any proposed land development along county roads, or which will cause storm water to drain directly or indirectly to a county road or to a drainage facility the county is responsible for, shall be submitted to the County Planning Board for review and approval. The resolution and the application form state two exemptions: site plans for housing structures containing less than five dwelling units, and site plans for land development not along a county road that include less than one acre of impervious surfaces. The fee figures are those printed in Section V of the Planning Board's 2025-2027 Development Review Application, published on the county site in February 2025. The form states that the fees cover all new submissions, defined as development, change of use and/or subdivision not previously reviewed by the county, and that no refund is made if an application is denied, withdrawn or changed. The Site Plan Resolution adjusts the fees for inflation every three years based on the Consumer Price Index. The Corridor Enhancement Program contribution is a separate line on the same schedule and is a separate record.

Corridor Enhancement Program Contribution (Site Plans with County-Road Frontage)

The Planning Board's 2025-2027 Development Review Application lists a Corridor Enhancement Program line in its Section V fee schedule, tied to the Corridor Enhancement Plan element of the Passaic County Master Plan, at $20 per linear foot of frontage on a county roadway. The figure is the one printed on that form, published on the county site in February 2025. The contribution applies to site plans with frontage on a county road and is paid with the site plan application, in addition to the site plan review fee recorded separately. The Corridor Enhancement Program itself is set out in Section VIII.A of the Passaic County Site Plan Resolution.
