Requests for Action/Complaints must be completed in writing and signed by an individual. Requests for Action are best discussed with the Zoning Officer so that you can give all the information needed to help us resolve your concern.
If you are paving your driveway, please contact the township for a new Driveway Permit. The $30 Driveway Permit fee pays for the Road Foreman to come to your property and help you and/or your contractor ensure that no damage will be done to your new pavement by the township snow plows as well as ensuring water impacts are mitigated.
Since we fund our schools with property taxes, Building Permits or Assessment Permits are required for most structures, permanent or temporary, and whether or not they are subject to the Commonwealth’s building code: the Universal Construction Code. Please contact the township office for information on how to apply for a permit.
