Land Use and Zoning

Zoning approval is the first step required in the establishment of a new business, construction of a new building or addition, or installation of sheds, driveways, pools, and fences. Most activities which involve use of a property or changes to the physical nature of a property will require zoning approval. Check with the Building Department before you begin a project or activity to confirm if zoning approval may be required.

The Building Department is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the municipal Development Regulations. These regulations have been developed to guide the appropriate use of lands and to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of people living, working and visiting the Township of Teaneck. 

To acquire a zoning permit, you will need to fill out an application and provide a property survey and site plan. For more information, please visit the permits page.
