WELCOME TO MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP
Manchester Township is located in beautiful Ocean County, New Jersey, just minutes from the Jersey Shore and
in between New York City, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Manchester is nestled in the New Jersey Pinelands and we are Ocean County’s best kept secret!
We thank you for your interest in Manchester Township
Beautiful Parks, Lakes, and Preserved Open Space, our top notch municipal services and our vibrant and dynamic community makes Manchester a great place to live, work, and raise a family. That is why the June 2012 edition of Inside New Jersey, a monthly publication of the Star Ledger, rated Manchester Township as such a great place to retire in New Jersey. Manchester Township offers something for everyone!
The goal of our website is to provide you with information about our municipality. Here you can learn about the many departments we have and the services that we offer. This is the hub where you will find a vast amount of information about our local government at your convenience and your leisure.
If there is something that you cannot find, please feel free to contact us during normal business hours and we will be pleased to assist you with any questions. Also, please check back often as we update the site frequently
Here are some ways we can help you.
New Building Department Hours
*** Announcing New Building Department Hours ***
Starting February 6th, 2023, In-Person Building Department hours will be from 9:00 am to 3:30pm. All business related to the Building Department, including but not limited to; permits, permit inspection scheduling, payment of permits, zoning, code enforcement, resale or rental certificate of occupancy payments and inspection requests will only be conducted during these hours.
However, should you require assistance outside of these hours, you most certainly may schedule any other business related items directly with the appropriate staff member.
Please also be advised that you may still drop off any applications and/or submittals into our “Red” Building Dept. drop box located outside on the front steps of Town Hall.
Thank you for your cooperation!
