Official Legal Notices Are Separate

Community notices can fit within classifieds, but official Township legal notices should always be read through the municipality's public-notice system.

Important 2026 change: New Jersey's amended legal-notice rules took effect March 1, 2026. Chester Township's Legal Notices page now provides municipal notices online, including Council actions, land-use notices, tax notices, bids and RFPs.
Town CouncilOrdinances, budgets, audit notices and other municipal actions.
Planning & Zoning BoardsPublic hearings, resolutions and land-use matters affecting specific properties.
Tax CollectionTax-sale and other official tax notices.
Bids & RFPsMunicipal procurement opportunities and notices belong in the official Township system rather than general classifieds.

Classified Posting Guidelines

Describe Items AccuratelyState the actual condition, age, size, price and important defects. Photos and descriptions should not mislead buyers.
Use a General LocationFor privacy, use “Chester Township,” a nearby road/cross-street or another general area until you are ready to arrange a pickup.
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.
Animal Welfare Comes FirstUse classifieds for missing/found animals and responsible rehoming notices, not unsafe, unlawful or questionable animal transfers.
Farm & Machinery SafetyClearly describe the condition and intended use of tractors, implements, power equipment, trailers and other potentially hazardous machinery.
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 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, vehicles, trailers or equipment, 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.
