Permit applications are available for pickup at the Township office. The Township will, upon request, mail a permit application for a mailing fee of $5.
It is the resident's / contractor's responsibility to ensure that submitted permit applications are complete.
If your permit application is not complete, it will be denied.
The following projects must have a permit:
- New Home Construction
- Building Additions
- Solar Panels
- Decks
- Patios
- Finished Basements
- Swimming Pools - any size
- Garages
- Barns
- Porches
- Sheds
- Roofs (not siding)
- Windows, if you are increasing the size or putting in an egress window (5.7s.f.)
- Generators/HVAC systems
- Fences
THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST. IF YOU PLAN ON DOING ANY HOME RENOVATIONS NOT LISTED, PLEASE CALL THE TOWNSHIP OFFICE TO SEE IF A PERMIT IS REQUIRED.
SOLAR PANELS
For roof-mounted solar panels the permit also requires a report from an engineer to certify that the roof will hold the panels.
FENCES
If you are installing a fence under 6 feet high, a zoning application only is required. Fences over 6 feet in height require zoning AND building applications.
HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS
If you live in a development with an established Home Owners Association, a letter from the HOA must be submitted with your application.
Any conflicts regarding deed restriction must be dealt with through your HOA. The Township does not have jurisdiction over this issue.
