Pricing and presentation deserve attention when you sell a home. Municipal paperwork deserves a place on the calendar, too. If you are preparing to sell in Audubon, Haddon Township, Collingswood or Haddon Heights, checking the local resale process early can help you plan inspections and address repair questions before settlement approaches.
Here are four useful starting points from the municipalities’ published guidance, reviewed September 22, 2026.
Audubon: allow time for two inspections
Audubon’s residential resale guidance says a Certificate of Occupancy involves an interior fire inspection and an exterior property inspection. The borough asks sellers to submit their request at least 15 business days before settlement. If repairs or a reinspection are needed, additional time may be necessary. Put that application on your calendar when you establish a proposed closing date.
Haddon Township: start the application early
Haddon Township’s residential inspection code calls for a certificate of compliance for covered residential ownership changes, with interior and exterior inspections. Applications are due at least 30 days before the scheduled sale; the code provides for additional fees for later applications. The township’s forms page links the resale inspection form and occupancy checklist. Review the requirements for your property with the construction office at the start of the sale process.
Collingswood: look beyond the front door
Collingswood’s sale-inspection packet includes fire-safety certification and exterior resale requirements. The exterior section identifies items including sidewalks, walkways, curbing, driveways, handrails and address numbers. Walk around the property early and make a list of questions. If work is needed near trees in the curb strip, check the packet’s Shade Tree Commission permit instructions before beginning.
Haddon Heights: confirm the fire-inspection process
Haddon Heights’ fire-prevention code includes smoke and carbon-monoxide detector inspections for resale of one- and two-family homes. Ask the borough’s fire-prevention office which application, inspection arrangements and current requirements apply to your home. Confirm any separate construction or permit questions with the appropriate municipal office.
Build one practical preparation list
Alongside the municipal process, gather your improvement history, available permit records, current tax information and any known condition questions. Separate work required for the sale from optional cosmetic projects. Before committing to a major renovation, consider the property’s condition, the homes it will compete against and your available time and budget.
