In late 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted an Ordinance establishing a Business registry. The registry will provide Township staff with the required information as may be needed for emergencies as well as code compliance! No Impact Home Based Businesses and Home Occupations are exempt from these requirements. A more detailed description is below along with links to the form of required information and our current fee schedule.

In order that the Township may best perform its services for the benefit of the community and the businesses therein, a centralized registry of all businesses is hereby established. Every person who shall first commence to engage in or conduct any business within the Township at any time after the first day of January of any year shall register such business within 30 days of the commencement of such business and pay the full registration fee as set by Resolution of the Board of Supervisors, provided that, when such initial registration shall take place in the month of December of any year, such registration also shall be applicable for the calendar year ensuing; provided, further, that every person who shall continue to engage in or conduct any business within the Township, at any time after the first day of January of any year shall have reregistered said business no later than the first day of March of said year and shall pay the full re-registration fee as set by Resolution of the Board of Supervisors. The initial registration or subsequent registration of a business shall be upon a form furnished by the Township, and the person shall pay the registration or re-registration fee, as the case may be, at the time of the registration or re-registration.

When any person registered under this article shall change their place of business within the Township, shall remove such business to a place outside the Township, shall discontinue such business, or shall transfer the business to any person, they shall furnish the information of such change, removal, discontinuance, as the case may be, within 10 days after the same, to the Zoning Officer, so that the register of businesses may be changed accordingly. Upon any change of ownership of any business which shall have been registered under this article, the new owner thereof, within 10 days after the acquisition thereof, shall furnish such information to the Zoning Officer, so that the register of businesses may be changed accordingly.
