Zoning Codes - Permits

All Permits are in PDF format and may be downloaded and printed. You will need ADOBE READER installed on your computer in order for your computer to download the permits. If you do not have the latest version, you may download it free from the
ADOBE web site.

This image after a Permit designates that the form may be filled in using your own computer. The file is in PDF format. It CANNOT be saved to your computer or submitted electronically so you will need to print out the form after you have filled in all the fields. To help you fill in the form, after the file loads (in ADOBE READER), click "Highlight Fields" in the upper right corner of the page. (Note: This will not appear if the form has 3 or less fields to fill in.)

Home Improvement & Yard Sales
Yes, you do need permits for: decks, sheds, fences, patios, pools (even the seasonal-type), gazebos, etc. Some of these projects also require plans and inspections for code compliance. Please contact the township office for assistance.

Yard sales, garage sales, moving sales, etc. must have a permit, which can be obtained at the twp. office for a $5.00 fee. You will receive an orange site sign this year with your permit.
Permits for yard/garage sales, pools, fences, sheds, decks, additions, accessory buildings, and carports must be obtained from the township office. These permits are generally issued immediately. If you live on a state highway, driveway permits may be secured from PennDOT by contacting the Susquehanna Trail office at 848-6230. Township road occupancy applications may be obtained at the township building during office hours. Permits are required for resurfacing existing driveways as well as installation of new ones.

There are many regulations governing the issuance of permits from setback requirements to road specifications. Many of these regulations change depending on the zoning district of the property. Many problems may be prevented by a simple phone call to the township. The personnel are available to answer questions or direct calls to the proper authorities. Phone 266-6735 during regular working hours of 8 A.M. to 4 P.M., Monday through Friday.
