How do I obtain a building permit?

The Pocopson Township Permit Application Process takes approximately 15 working days. If any construction commences before a permit is issued and paid for the permit fees will be doubled. A non-refundable fee of $25.00 must be included when a building permit application is submitted. This charge is subtracted from the final permit fee that is due when the permit is picked up.

Building permit application must be signed by the landowner /applicant. If the applicant is NOT the landowner a written statement indicating that the applicant will act as agent/representative is required.

PLEASE NOTE: The Township requires two (2) copies of a plot plan showing your setbacks, your construction prints, and the estimated cost of your project. Your application cannot be approved without this information showing your setbacks.
