What buyers should check in Allamuchy Township

1. Association documents. For Panther Valley, review dues, reserves, rules and any pending assessments.
2. Highlands rules. Check the parcel's designation before planning additions or outbuildings.
3. Water and sewer type. Confirm for the specific property and inspect accordingly.
4. Private wells. If the home has a well, New Jersey's Private Well Testing Act requires a water test before closing, and Warren County is one of the counties where uranium is added to the test.
5. Septic systems. Order a separate septic inspection — a general home inspection doesn't cover it.
6. Property taxes. Look at the actual tax bill for the house, not an average, and compare Allamuchy Township's rate using the state's municipal tax data.
7. Town certificates. New Jersey requires a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm and fire extinguisher certificate at a change of occupancy; ask the town about any added resale inspections.
