Entrance Permits

An entrance permit is required to establish or change an entranceway onto a property off of a public road.

An entrance permit must also be in place prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Final inspection of the entrance permit must be completed before occupancy is permitted in new construction projects.

A civic address must also be obtained from the Township when an entrance is being created or changed, whether or not there is a structure on the property.
