Subdivision Procedures:

 

• A structure already exists on owner's lot that would consist of 2 or more acres. Two structures cannot remain on one deeded lot and must be subdivided to create two separate and distinct parcel numbers.
• Refer to Chapter 22 requirements of the subdivision ordinance that are provided with the Subdivision Packet by the Township.
• Subdivision requires a certified survey, paid for by the applicant.
• Mylar and copies will be presented to the following for approval and signatures:

	Washington County Planning Commission

			Smith Township Planning Commission

			Smith Township Supervisors

		

• The application fee of $475.00 is to be paid by the applicant upon approval of the subdivision by the Smith Township Planning Commission. The fee is based on a one-family dwelling. Fees may be adjusted when there are more lots or multi-family dwellings involved.
• After approval by the Smith Township Supervisors, check to see if a sewerage tap is required, and, if so, pay the tap fee. Then proceed to the Building Inspector for a building permit.
• Double-wide (new modular home) procedures may vary regarding electrical and plumbing inspections. These are factory pre-certified. Foundation and final inspections apply. Please make sure you check with the zoning officer
