Manor Township

Township states permits are required before beginning all construction; many projects need both zoning and building permits, and some also require grading, driveway, sign, demolition, or stormwater approvals.

• Exempt Demolition permits are not required for structures used for agricultural purposes

Note: The township also posts separate permit forms for work categories such as driveway, grading, signs, and stormwater, indicating applicants should not assume exemption by category. Verify claimed exemptions directly with the township because no single consolidated exempt-work page was posted.

Building code

Owner-builder

Public forms describe owner or applicant certifications, but no separate owner-builder summary page was located.

Contractor requirements
