Is my event a "Special Event?" Do I need a Permit?

• Would your event be on Township Property or using our facilities? If so, carefully review the information on this page.
  • If your event is “above and beyond normal usage” of Township facilities/property, then it is a special event, and will require a Special Event Permit (Recreation Department)
    
    • Note: Applications should be submitted 3 months in advance of your event to allow necessary approvals. All Special Events must be approved by Township Department Heads and the Township Manager. Certain Special Events will require approval from the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors meet once a month on the first Thursday of each month. Please account for this in your planning timeline.

• Would your Event be on Private Property?
  • If your event would occur on private property you must work with our Permit Department submitting a Special Events Permit Application (Private Property - Permits Department) three months in advance of your event date.
