Welcome to East Rockhill Township's Building & Zoning Department
Here you will find information on what improvements require permits, how to apply for permits, how much permits cost, and other information related to building and zoning within the Township. Permits are required for many things. If you are contemplating doing work, installing a fence, building a detached garage, opening or moving a business, make sure you have the proper permits.
New impervious surface, cumulative since September 2002 of 1,000 square feet or more, changes to grading and/or change to stormwater flow is subject to stormwater regulations and review.
What Permits Do I Need?
It is essential to obtain all required permits. Any work performed without the necessary permits will be subject to double permit fees and a failed re-sale certificate with the sale of the home.
