Classifieds & Community Marketplace
Use the Mountain Lakes classifieds for community-scale buying and selling, garage and estate sale notices, lost-and-found posts, local lessons, pet notices, celebrations and other appropriate personal listings.
Jobs, full real-estate advertising and recurring business promotion belong on NJTGO's dedicated Mountain Lakes Jobs, Real Estate and Business pages rather than in the community classifieds.
Current Mountain Lakes Classified Listings
No user-submitted Mountain Lakes classified listings are currently displayed. This page is ready for genuine, approved community postings. NJTGO does not create fictional ads simply to make a category appear populated.
Classified Categories
The refreshed marketplace keeps the useful categories and removes the empty subcategory clutter. A single listing can be placed in the category that best matches what a resident is offering, seeking or announcing.
Local sale notices with the date, hours, general location, major item categories and rain-date information when applicable.
Cars, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and lawful parts or accessories, with accurate ownership and condition information.
Volunteer opportunities, nonprofit activities, clubs, seminars, neighborhood programs and appropriate community announcements.
Academic tutoring, music instruction, art lessons, fitness instruction and other legitimate person-to-person learning opportunities.
Lost keys, wallets, phones, jewelry and other property. Keep sensitive identifying details private until ownership can be verified.
Lost or found pets, responsible rehoming notices and appropriate pet-service announcements, subject to law and animal-welfare standards.
Roommate wanted or needed notices may be considered. Full apartment or house rentals should be promoted through the Real Estate page instead.
Engagements, weddings, anniversaries, reunions, milestones and other positive community announcements.

Mountain Lakes Borough CodeBorough Contact InformationLost Property & Lost Pets
An NJTGO post can help neighbors see a lost-and-found notice, but urgent or valuable-property situations should also be reported through the appropriate official channel.
For non-emergency police matters, the Mountain Lakes Police Department currently lists 973-334-1413. Call 911 for emergencies.
Mountain Lakes identifies its Animal Control Officer through the Borough health office. Lost or found animals should be reported through official channels in addition to any community post.
Do not publish serial numbers, full identification numbers, financial information, access codes or other details that should be used to verify the rightful owner.
Official Borough Notices & Community Events
NJTGO classifieds are not a substitute for official government notices. Mountain Lakes maintains Borough Council agendas, minutes and public notices through its municipal website, and the official site also provides its own community event-submission process.
Important distinction: The Borough's website policy specifically excludes classified advertising and business advertising from the municipal website. NJTGO provides a separate community marketplace while official Borough notices remain with the municipality.
Council Notices & MinutesBorough Event SubmissionSubmitting a Classified to NJTGO
When submitting a community listing, provide enough information for a useful post without exposing unnecessary personal information.
A clear title, category, concise description, price when relevant, general Mountain Lakes location and a safe contact method.
Describe condition accurately. Include model, approximate age, dimensions or other useful details when they materially affect the item.
Include date, hours, general location, rain date if any and the main types of items or activities involved.
Use clear photos of the actual item when appropriate. Avoid images that expose house numbers, license plates, documents or private information unnecessarily.
Roommate posts must comply with applicable fair-housing and anti-discrimination requirements. Full property advertising belongs on Real Estate.
Recurring business advertising, employer recruiting and promotional links are handled through NJTGO's advertising and dedicated directory pages.
Marketplace Safety
Use good judgment with person-to-person transactions. Meet in an appropriate public location when practical, do not share unnecessary financial or identity information, verify payment before releasing an item, and be cautious of overpayment, gift-card, wire-transfer, shipping-agent and verification-code scams.
- Never send a one-time login or verification code to a buyer or seller.
- Do not accept a check for more than the agreed price and return the difference.
- Verify ownership and title documents for vehicles and other titled property.
- Do not list unlawful, stolen, counterfeit, recalled or prohibited items.
- Regulated or high-risk goods may be refused even when a private sale might otherwise be legal.
