Current NJTGO Classified Listings

No current Chester Borough classified listings have been supplied for publication.

When listings are active, NJTGO can organize them by category, description, asking price when applicable, general location and a safe contact method.

Garage & Yard Sales

Chester Borough's current online forms include business, vendor, event-use and other municipal permits, but NJTGO did not locate a dedicated current residential garage-sale permit application in the Borough's published forms.

Before advertising a sale: Contact the Chester Borough Clerk to confirm whether any current permit, temporary-sign, right-of-way or other requirement applies to the address and planned sale. Sign rules can also be affected by Borough zoning regulations.

Keep Signs LegalDo not place signs on utility poles, traffic-control devices or property without permission. Check current Borough sign requirements before posting temporary sale signs.

Protect Residential StreetsAvoid blocking driveways, sidewalks, fire hydrants or intersections with merchandise or parked vehicles.

Use Daylight HoursFor safer transactions, schedule pickups and sales during daylight and keep cash handling controlled.

Estate SalesProfessional estate-sale operators should independently verify any business, vendor, tax or other licensing requirements that apply.

Pets, Lost Animals & Dog Licensing

Chester Borough currently publishes a Dog License Application through its Licenses & Permits section. Because the publicly indexed application carries older fee-year information, residents should use the Borough to confirm the current license fee, rabies-documentation requirement and any late charges before submitting payment.

Missing Pet PostsInclude a clear photo, name, general area last seen, approximate time and safe contact method. Do not publish unnecessary personal information.

Found PetsKeep the animal secure if it is safe to do so and contact local authorities or an appropriate shelter/rescue resource rather than relying only on social media.

Chester PoliceThe unified Chester Police Department serves both Chester Borough and Chester Township. The current non-emergency number is 908-879-5514; emergencies should use 911.

Dog LicensingCurrent Borough forms include a dog-license application. Verify current-year requirements directly with the Borough before relying on an older form or fee.

Official Legal Notices Are Separate

Community notices can fit within classifieds, but official Borough legal notices should always be read through the municipal public-notice system.

Important 2026 change: New Jersey's amended legal-notice rules took effect March 1, 2026. Chester Borough's current Public Notices page explains that public entities now publish legal notices on their websites rather than relying on newspaper publication for Open Public Meetings Act compliance.

Mayor & CouncilOrdinances, budgets, special-meeting notices and related Borough actions.

Land Use BoardApplications, hearings, decisions and land-use notices.

Board of HealthHealth ordinances, meetings and public notices.

Bid OpportunitiesMunicipal procurement and bid notices are maintained through the official system.

Chester Borough Public Notices

Community Events & Public Property

The Borough Clerk's current forms include an Event License or Use of Municipal Property Application. Organizers planning a community event on Borough property should use the municipal application process rather than relying on a classified announcement alone.

Community AnnouncementsNJTGO classifieds can help publicize eligible nonprofit, neighborhood, educational and civic activities.

Municipal PropertyEvents using Borough parks, fields, facilities or other municipal property may require prior approval.

Food VendorsThe Borough also publishes current event food-vendor and food-establishment applications through its licensing/health resources.

Business VendorsCommercial vendors and solicitors may have separate Borough licensing requirements.

Classified Posting Guidelines

Describe Items AccuratelyState the real condition, age, size, price and important defects. Photos and descriptions should not mislead buyers.

Protect Personal InformationDo not publish Social Security numbers, banking details, passwords, full financial documents or unnecessary private information.

Meet SafelyFor exchanges, consider a public, well-lit location during daylight hours and avoid carrying unnecessary cash.

No Regulated or Illegal GoodsDo not submit firearms, ammunition, weapons, controlled substances, prescription medications, nicotine/tobacco products, alcohol, recalled goods, stolen property or other restricted items.

No CounterfeitsListings must involve authentic property that the seller has the legal right to sell or transfer.

Pet Welfare Comes FirstUse classifieds for missing/found pets and responsible rehoming notices, not questionable animal sales or unsafe transfers.

Tickets & EventsClearly state the event date and ticket source. Do not advertise duplicated, fraudulent or invalid tickets.

Licensed ServicesAnyone offering regulated professional services should hold any license, registration or insurance required by New Jersey law.

Medical EquipmentOrdinary non-prescription mobility or household-care equipment may be appropriate; prescription-only devices, medications and unsafe medical products are not accepted.

NJTGO Is Not the SellerNJTGO provides local advertising space and is not a party to transactions between buyers, sellers, renters or service providers.

Common Classified Scams

Be cautious when a buyer or seller creates urgency around payment.

Common warning signs include overpayment checks, requests to send money back, gift-card payment, cryptocurrency-only payment, fake shipping services, requests for verification codes, supposed buyers who refuse to meet or inspect an item, and links asking you to enter banking credentials.

Never Return OverpaymentA fake-check scam often starts with someone sending more than the agreed price and asking for the difference back.

Do Not Share CodesVerification codes sent to your phone or email can be used to hijack accounts.

Inspect Before PayingFor expensive items, verify condition and ownership before transferring money.

Keep RecordsSave messages, receipts and identifying transaction information if a dispute or fraud report becomes necessary.

NJTGO keeps these categories separate from general classifieds so visitors can find them more easily.
