Reminder for Homeowners in the Historic District
If you are considering doing exterior work on your property, the Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) would like to remind you that a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) may need to be obtained before a Building Permit can be issued. The COA process involves an application to the HARB, a vote of recommendation from the HARB, and a subsequent vote of approval from the Board of Supervisors. The members of the HARB would like this process to be as easy and straightforward as possible, and urge residents to talk with Duane Brady, the Township Code Enforcement Officer, very early in your planning—even before you have spoken to a contractor—to understand what is involved.
If you are an owner of property in the District and need a copy of the Historic District information package, please contact the Township office at 610-255-5212.
