Although once the application is submitted, further documentation may be required if identified through the review process.

Please be advised that any additions, renovations, or improvements to your property undertaken as a result of your building permit application may lead to an increase in the assessed value of your property, as determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). This increase in your property's assessed value can result in supplementary property taxes being levied by the Township. Click HERE for more information on potential supplementary property taxes.
