Q. How is assessment of my home determined?
-
A. The Township does not assess homes, this is done at the County level. Questions on this matter should be directed to the Chester County Assessment Office at 610-344-6105.
Q. What is an Interim Tax Bill?
-
A. Interim tax bills cover the period that ownership or change of assessed
value of a property was effective.
For example; if ownership of a property took place in the 10/05 and
property tax bills were mailed out 3/06, an interim tax bill will be sent
once assessment office forwards the information to the Township.
An interim bill will be calculated and sent to property owner to cover the
time period October, November and December of 2005. This bill may
not be received by owner for several months after this assessment is
done. This also affects properties that had change of dwelling/property
value i.e. pool, deck, addition.
Q. What is the fee for a Tax Certification?
-
A. Tax Certifications are required for refinancing and resale of a property.
They are usually requested by the agency handling the transaction.
Fee is $10.00 payable to Judy Jones, Tax Collector and should be
mailed to township. Faxed requests should include a copy of the
check and requested information. Mailed requests must include a
postage paid envelope if hard copy is required.

Q. What do I need to submit?
-
A. A complete permit package is a completed application form, a plot plan, two sets of plans and if you reside in a development that is governed by the Homeowners' Association, a copy of their approval letter for your project.
Q. How much will it cost?
-
A. The permit fees are calculated by the inspectors during the permit review process. Once your permit is ready for pick up, the Township will give the homeowner a call and let them know the permit price at that time. Payment is to be made at the time of permit pick up. However, if you would like to calculate your fees, please see our Fee Schedule.
Q. What inspections will I need?
-
A. A general rule of thumb is a footing inspection, backfill inspection, frame inspection (with rough wire electric sticker obtained prior to inspection), insulation inspection and Final Inspection (with final electric sticker obtained prior to inspection).
