County findings
- Union County has 153,910 DCA construction SOURCE RECORDS in the acquired extract (59,973 permit-issued and 93,937 certificate-issued). That is not 153,910 unique permits or projects. P and C are separate classes and their costs are not added.
- 20 of 21 current municipalities are observed reporters in this extract. Winfield Township is a known non-reporter (coverage gap, not zero activity).
- The Union County Home Improvement Program is a CDBG rehabilitation program, not a Union County contractor license. No public participant/vendor list was acquired.
- One Safe House / HIC notice of violation in the statewide inventory names a Union County town (Plainfield). A notice is not a final order.
- 281 NJSAVI certified-vendor rows with a published business city in Union County matched a construction-related keyword filter. A certified vendor is not a licensed contractor. Business address is not a service area.

Observed reporting municipalities
21 current municipalities in this county.
Statewide calendar construction-value totals are BLOCKED_DUE_TO_RECONCILIATION versus the Construction Reporter (about 20–52% for 2023–2025). Combined P+C cost is BLOCKED_PENDING_DEFINITION. Extreme ≥$500M rows are excluded from any approved metric.
Statewide P-stage unit change is published on /new-jersey. County unit change is not computed from committed artifacts in this ticket.
Statewide construction rows have no contractor attribution. A construction record is not a contractor finding.

Municipality coverage
20 of 21 current municipalities are observed reporters. A municipality with no rows is a coverage gap, not zero construction. STATE rows are not municipalities and are not in this table.

Contractor / credential landscape
0 public ContractorTrustHub profiles are deterministically assigned to Union County by an official business address in this snapshot. Missing profiles are unknown, not a clean or empty market. Statewide public-works lists remain statewide families and are not inferred onto this county by name.
PWCR coverage is SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED. A missing roster is not zero registrants.
Specialty contractor evidence
Lead, asbestos, and fire-protection snapshots are statewide program lists without a county field in the public NJ-CON-004 extract. Absence here is unknown, not zero.
Local county intelligence
UNION_COUNTY_HOME_IMPROVEMENT_PROGRAM
This is a CDBG rehabilitation program for owner-occupied 1- and 2-family homes. It is not a Union County contractor license. Program staff prepare work write-ups, review contractor bids, and inspect work. That is program administration, not licensure.
Deferred loan up to $24,999 as published 2026-01-14. HUD income limits change annually.
Participating municipalities: Berkeley Heights, Clark, Cranford, Fanwood, Garwood, Hillside, Kenilworth, Mountainside, New Providence, Roselle, Roselle Park, Scotch Plains, Springfield, Summit, Westfield. Independent municipal rehab programs: Elizabeth, Linden, Plainfield, Rahway, Union.
No public participant list was acquired. If a list arrives later, rows would be labeled UNION_COUNTY_HOME_IMPROVEMENT_PROGRAM_PARTICIPANT — still not a county license.
Safe House / HIC notices in this county inventory
A notice of violation is not a final order. Names are source-inventory rows, not contractor profiles.
- Jersey Best Paving & Masonry LLC · Plainfield · Failure to Renew Registration (NOV, proposed)
County consumer-affairs complaint history is lookup or request coverage only. This page does not show zero complaints and does not call the absence a clean record. A complaint is not a violation.
Public works / regulatory evidence
WALL, Wage Watchlist, and Treasury lists are statewide families. This page does not infer county membership from business names.
Research statewide WALL, Wage Watchlist, and Treasury lists from the New Jersey construction page. Absence from a snapshot is not a clean record.
Find contractors
Geography on this page means business address in Union County — not “serves all of Union County.” Vendor or program participation is not a contractor license.
