Permits and Applications

Submitting Permits and Applications

Peters Township now offers the ability to submit and track building and zoning permits online as well as receive permit documents and schedule inspections through the use of our online portal powered by SDL.  The Online Building and Zoning Permit Portal can be accessed through the links below for Residential or Commercial Building Permit Applications found in the next section.

For more information on SDL and how to access the online portal, please review the SDL How-To Guide (PDF). 

Permit Applications

All Building, Zoning, Fence, and Demolition permits are required to be accompanied by a plot plan and/or survey that includes the entire scope of work, drawn to scale.

If you are part of a Homeowners Association (HOA) we recommend contacting them to make sure your project complies with their rules and/or covenants.

Third-Party Inspectors

Certain building inspections are required to be conducted by a third-party. These include electrical, energy compliance, and exterior sanitary inspections required for all commercial and new residential construction. Peters Township maintains a list of those inspection agencies that are permitted to conduct these inspections with contact information for the convenience of our applicants. A list of all inspections, including those that must be conducted by a third-party, is provided with all issued building permits.

Plan Reviews

Peters Township currently has an agreement with Code-sys  to conduct Uniform Construction Code (UCC) plan reviews for certain Building Permit applications. When Planning Staff receives an application for any Commercial project, construction documents are forwarded to Code-sys for review. UCC reviews for new single-family dwellings and all other projects are done in-house by Peters Township staff.
