Upper Makefield Township


Permits & Applications

From new development to home improvements, you’ll probably need a permit. The permit process is designed to help us maintain compliance with codes set in place to preserve the health, safety, quality of life, and fitness of our properties and community. Read more on the Planning & Zoning page or download the Permit Application Information Packet.

Common Project Document Packages

Many home improvement projects require multiple permits. We’ve created packets for the most common projects detailing the permits you’ll need from the township and, in some cases, other organizations.

Individual Permits & Forms

If you didn’t find your project listed, you may only need an individual permit. Check with the Planning & Zoning department to make sure you have all the permits needed for your project.
