Places to know. The Gabriel Daveis Tavern House, built in 1756 before the Revolutionary War, is the township's best-known historic site.
Selling a home. Gloucester Township's construction office does not require a certificate of occupancy when a home is resold. Sellers still need the smoke detector certification, which comes from the fire district that serves the property. New Jersey also requires a certificate for working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a portable fire extinguisher before a one- or two-family home gets a new owner or tenant. Rules change, so check with the town before listing.
