NJDOT Permits Overview

To help maintain our transportation network, permits may be required to build new access to a state roadway, to drive an overweight or overheight vehicle, or cross certain bridges. To further guide you to finding the information needed the following is a listing of the permits, licenses, and guidelines available within the NJDOT.
Over the course of the next year the Department is moving many of the permits listed below to a new ePermiting environment in the cloud. This e-Permitting public portal is a web-based, GIS-enabled application developed to manage, track, and document all aspects of each permit. Customers will have instant web access to their permits including the current status and all associated documents.
