Matawan, the way we see it.
Main Street homes and 1960s streets
Matawan has 4,010 homes, and 44% were built between 1960 and 1979. Only 47% are detached single-family houses. The rest run from 2-to-4-family homes to apartment buildings, with historic houses along Main Street and 1960s developments off it.
Permits run through Aberdeen
Matawan's construction permits are handled by Aberdeen Township's Construction Department at 1 Aberdeen Square, under a shared-services agreement that started April 1, 2022. For most reroofs on a one- or two-family home there's nothing to file, since the state treats it as ordinary maintenance.
The Downtown Preservation District
Downtown is a different story. Matawan's zoning code (section 304-69) sets a Downtown Preservation District, and new buildings, additions and alterations there go through Planning Board review to keep the historic village look. If your house is downtown, ask the borough before you change the roofline, the siding or the windows.
Flood zone
About 7% of Matawan's land sits in FEMA's 100-year flood zone, per Monmouth County's 2020 hazard mitigation plan.
