Notes

Township Community Development Department / Housing Inspector performs inspections; lead inspection is bundled into the township's general rental inspection. The page does not explicitly describe the state-mandated owner-hired-contractor option, so 'Municipal inspector' reflects the town's stated default process.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of Cherry Hill Township's specific process above, the certificate itself is valid three years statewide (P.L.2024, c.74) — not the two years some older DCA guidance still states. See the lead-safe hub for the full statewide timeline, deadlines, and landlord checklist.
