Who should I contact about a pothole on a New Jersey road?

Practical guidance, useful next steps and official sources for New Jersey residents.

Start by identifying which government maintains the road. A town or municipal road should be reported to that town; a county road goes to the county road department; a state road goes through NJDOT’s reporting service. Morris County’s official page illustrates these separate routes and links to its county-road list and the state reporting tool. Use the corresponding road department for your location. The Morris County contact details apply only to its own county roads.

What to do next

Check the road owner with your municipality or county, then use that agency’s reporting route.
