Zoning: Permits |
|
|
Before you begin any construction project, such as a deck, room addition, garage, storage barn, or swimming pool, your first step should be to contact the Plain Township Zoning Department to discuss any restrictions that may apply and to obtain the required permit applications to submit for review.
|
|
|
Zoning regulations are designed to protect the investment of every property owner.
As you plan your project, you must be in compliance with minimum setbacks, maximum size requirements, and general safety restrictions for structures and property uses.
|
|
|
In addition to a permit application, a site plan of your project is required to illustrate the new construction's size and location to property lines and existing structures on your property.
These documents will be reviewed prior to issuance of a permit.
|
|
|
Permits must be issued before work begins.
|
|
|
The Township can impose penalties - as much as $100.00 per day - for projects started without proper permits.
If you are hiring a contractor to do work on your property, the Zoning Department recommends that you discuss who will be responsible for obtaining permits with your contractor.
Remember that ultimately, the property owner is responsible for compliance of his or her property with all Township zoning requirements.
|
|
|
A complete set of the Township's zoning regulations are provided in the Plain Township Zoning Resolution, available on-line or from the Zoning Office at a cost of $15.
For general information regarding the minimum requirements for your project, application procedures, and fees, please call 330-492-4686.
