Notes

Township Code Chapter 140 ("Lead-Based Paint Inspections," incl. Section 140-13 Fees) exists per eCode360 index, but the page was blocked by Cloudflare bot-verification and could not be read, so fee/who-inspects details are unverified.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of Lopatcong 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.
