ZONING INFORMATION

Franklin Township is divided into areas called zones.  Each zone allows specific uses and has specific requirements for construction.  New principal structures; additions; sheds, decks, pools, fences, or other accessory structures; additions; patios, driveways, sidewalks, or other impervious coverage all require Zoning Permits.  Changes of use and/or changes of commercial tenant also require Zoning Approval.  If you are unsure as to whether you need approval from the Zoning Office, please call or come in before proceeding. We’re here to help you!  Applications and instructions are available on this website or in the Zoning Office.
