This department processes applications related to zoning permits, planned unit developments, special land uses, site plan reviews, etc. The Township requires that property owners obtain a zoning permit for all structures and additions, including fences, accessory structures (i.e., sheds, carports, pergola, etc.), and other miscellaneous items. Before you decide to begin construction you will want to check on the zoning requirements specific to that property.
Zoning Board of Appeals Meets as required.
