Garage conversion rules in Red Bank, NJ — sometimes called garage-to-ADU or accessory living unit conversions — govern permits, ceiling height, egress, and parking replacement.
Garage conversions in Red Bank require construction permits and zoning approval. Converting to dwelling use needs a use variance. Eliminating parking may create deficiency requiring a parking variance. NJ UCC building code compliance required for all conversions.
Garage conversions in Red Bank require both zoning and construction permits. Changes in occupancy and use require applications filed with the Building Department. Converting a garage to a dwelling unit requires a use variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment, as Red Bank does not have a specific ADU ordinance.

All conversions must meet NJ UCC requirements for the new use, including egress, fire safety, insulation, electrical, and plumbing. The converted space contributes to the 40% maximum lot coverage and any accessory structure limitations. In flood zones, garage conversions must comply with flood damage prevention elevation requirements.
