Residential Permits

Permit Fees

Chapter 195 of the Township Code of Ordinances provides each of the fees associated with the Planning Department's permits.  View Township Ordinance No. 920 for more information.

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 proposed project complies with their rules and/or covenants.

Peters Township is using SDL as our permit software.  Permits will be submitted through an online portal.  Please use the SDL Portal to start your permit application.

Please include the required documentation based on the the type of project in the Documentation Checklist (PDF).  Depending on the scope of the project, it may be necessary to complete multiple permit applications (example:  For a pool/fence/pool house, select the residential building permit and then complete a pool permit application for the pool and fence and an accessory structure permit application for the pool house.)

Questions can be emailed to PermitApplications@peterstownship.com.

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.
