the 1972 Code)]
The Township of Jackson hereby adopts the present street address
and numbering system of the Township of Jackson as the system of numbering
all buildings and lots of land within the Township pursuant to N.J.S.A.
40:67-1j.
[Amended 7-21-1993 by Ord. No. 28-93]
Within 90 days of the date of adoption of this article, the
owner of every parcel of real property in the Township of Jackson
upon which is located a structure to which a street number has been
assigned shall have the number so assigned displayed on the parcel
or on the structure in a position which is easily observed and readable
from either direction along the public street. Display of the assigned
number on a mailbox directly in front of the structure or on the street
directly opposite the structure shall be acceptable. In the case of
individual residences and two-family residences specifically excluding
strip malls and shopping centers, all numbers shall be in Arabic figures
at least three inches high, 1/2 inch wide and shall be of light-reflective
material. Numbers written in script, cursive, Old English, Roman or
other styles of writing shall not be acceptable because of the difficulty
of agencies responding in emergency situations to read such style.
Additionally, each separate commercial building, including strip malls
or shopping centers, industrial building and apartment building shall
be required to display a number and/or letter of at least eight inches
in height and one inch in width, subject to the above conditions.
However, individual retail establishments within a commercial building
shall not be required to post individual numbers, provided that the
commercial building exhibits a number as set forth in this section.
[Amended 8-22-2017 by Ord. No. 16-17]
Any person, firm or corporation violating the provisions of
this article shall be subject to a fine of $50.
