This department is responsible for receiving and processing permit applications and collecting fees related to all building and zoning within the Township.
Any property in the Floodplain must be evaluated to determine permitted activity and construction. For floodplain zone information, please visit FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer Viewer.
Zoning & Construction Permits
A permit must be issued by the Township before work is begun on the following:
- All new structures or buildings, including residential and commercial buildings, sheds, garages, swimming pools, fences and retaining walls.
- Additions or alterations to existing structures or buildings (re-roofing, siding, etc.)
- All electrical, plumbing, heating or air conditioning work.
Effective immediately, 5/16/25, all zoning permit applications are not to be accepted for submission unless they are filled out in their entirely. Incomplete zoning permit applications shall not be accepted and reviewed.
Additionally, a plan prepared by a licensed Engineer or Land Surveyor that shows existing improvements, proposed improvements as well as all calculations showing compliance with all dimensional and performance zoning requirements shall be required with each submission.
Tree Trimming
Property owners are reminded that it is their responsibility to control the growth of tree limbs and shrubbery over public roads and sidewalks. Township regulations require that all trees and shrubbery be trimmed so that a minimum unobstructed clearance of nine (9) feet is maintained over sidewalks and fourteen (14) feet is maintained over public roads.
Failure to comply will not only result in the imposition of fines and penalties, but will also result in dangerous conditions which affect the safety of pedestrians, bicycle riders and vehicle operators.
