- Proposal
On July 12, 2024, the Worcester Township Board of Supervisors considered a Fee Schedule Amendment Resolution prepared by the Assistant Township Manager to adjust zoning permit fees based on an analysis of average staff time required for permit processing. The proposed changes include a new $50 non-refundable application fee (applicable to all permits) and significant increases to existing permit fees—ranging from $75 for fence permits to $225 for telecommunications facilities—with most residential and non-residential permits increasing from $28 to $125. The amendment aims to ensure township staff costs are properly recovered, particularly for denied or withdrawn applications that currently result in uncompensated expenses, with staff recommending approval of the resolution as presented.
