New Jersey is an EPA-administered state, which means lead-safe firm certification for New Jersey contractors is issued directly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Any New Jersey firm paid to disturb paint in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities must hold this certification before advertising for or performing the work.
Because New Jersey does not run its own program, we file your application through the EPA’s CDX system as your authorized agent. The all-in cost in New Jersey is $429: our $129 service fee plus the EPA’s $300 filing fee, and the certificate is valid for five years.
We file for New Jersey contractors statewide, including Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton.
We also file in all EPA-administered states. Read the full guide →
