OUR HISTORY

OUR MISSION

OUR MEMBERSHIP

Our history started in 1994 with the creation of the Bergen-Passaic Association; from there the South Jersey Association and Ocean-Monmouth Association were started. In 1997 the Northwest Jersey Association and the Union Association started, with that the executive officers of each association started to meet as a group and so the New Jersey Association of Technical Assistants was established, following quickly was the Central Jersey Association and the Northern New Jersey Association which had joined us during the spring/summer of 2005 bringing us to a total of seven (7) local associations in addition to our state association. During the economic downturn many towns consolidated and reduced hours. This had the biggest effect on the Northern New Jersey Association which after trying for several years to stay together finally dissolved. Their members that were left joined neighboring associations. So today we we stand at six (6) local associations and our State Association. We roughly have 180 members in total.
This association is organized to promote and encourage the exchange of information,education, responsibilities and professionalism of the Technical Assistant to the Construction Official.

OUR GOAL

One of our goals is to utilize some of the many benefits available to us as an ICC Chapter. Some of those advantages include having a Staff Liaison to assist us in communication with ICC Staff and the Board of Directors, encourage Chapter support and participation at all levels, attend our meetings, etc. 
Our membership is open to all Technical Assistants and/or Control Persons to the Construction Official. Your membership is paid through your dues if you belong to one of the local associations.

OUR HOPE

We hope that you will find this website as a useful tool, such as information exchange, meeting dates, regional association contacts, job postings, etc. Please contact us with any information, comments or suggestions you would like to share.

The New Jersey State Technical Assistant License is here!!!

It's official, on May 1, 2023, the Technical Assistant License went into effect. Congratulations and thank you to all that worked so hard to make this a reality.
 
  • If you currently hold a "99" number that you use to register for classes, you are grandfathered from having to take the Technical Assistant course and only need to submit the application and fee to be licensed. Currently $91.00
  • Licenses are valid for 3 years and will expire either January 31st or July 31st depending on when you apply.
  • You will receive a license number in line with license numbers being issued to all inspectors. (our numbers are not unique)
  • In addition to the renewal application and fee there will be Continuing Education Unit  (CEU) requirements to renew your license.  The requirements are 1.5 Admin CEU’s and they will need to be completed prior to your renewal date.  Failure to complete the required CEU’s will result in a license not being eligible for renewal.
  • The application needs to be notarized, do not sign the form until you are in front of the Notary.
  • You will mail it to the address at the top of the application with a check payable to Treasurer, State of New Jersey.
  • The current "99" numbers are going away, after a period of time the DCA will no longer allow you to take classes utilizing them.
  • DCA will be sending out an email to their current list of certified TA's with the application.
  • It is highly recommended that you use your personal email address when applying for the license so they can always reach out to you. 
  • If you took the course but never applied to DCA for a "99" number, you will apply for the license only now. Please note that the course completion certificate is only valid for 5 years, if you took your course more than 5 years ago you will need to complete the course again to apply for the license.
If you have any questions, please contact the DCA directly at 609-984-7834 or Education.unit@dca.nj.gov
