Morris County Launches Online Land Development Review Application

The Morris County Office of Planning and Preservation has launched an online application allowing Morris County Planning Board applicants to digitally submit their documents and make required fee payments.

Hard copies of applications will still be required; however, digital submissions will provide the public a more convenient option to pay by credit card or electronic check via ACH (Automatic Clearing House) in addition to traditional paper checks.

“The pandemic prompted us to consider options to paper checks, and this electronic means also enables us to ensure the billing is done correctly in advance. Honest mistakes are made, and this can provide guidance at the start,” said Joseph Barilla, Director of the Morris County Office of Planning & Preservation.

Once an application has been submitted, planning staff will confirm the exact fee by doing a preliminary evaluation to determine the specifics of the project. Staff will send the applicant a digital invoice and they can pay by whichever method is most appropriate for them.

The new online form can be found on the Land Development Review Sections' homepage.

A direct link to the form may be found here.

Director Barilla also said that digital document submissions will enable the office to build a database of project documents that are more conveniently accessed and maintained over time.

Anyone with questions about this process or any Land Development Review submittals may reach out to staff at mcdevreview@co.morris.nj.us or call (973) 829-8120.
