a 3rd accessory structure on my property?
Accessory structures
can be; detached garages, detached car ports, yard sheds, above or below ground
swimming pools, picnic pavilions, wood sheds, etc.
You are only

and have a hardship need for a third accessory structure, you can ask the
Center Township Planning Commission for approval to install a third structure.
How do I apply to the
Planning Commission?
You must submit a
plot plan which shows existing and proposed structures on your property. In
addition, submit a letter explaining reason for the 3rd accessory
structure.
When must the plot
plan and letter be submitted?
The plot plan and
letter must be submitted to the Township office no later than the second
Wednesday of the month. The Planning Commission meets on the fourth Wednesday
of each month at 6:30pm, except November and December.

attend their meeting in case they have any questions.
The Planning
Commission approved my request for a 3rd accessory structure. What
is the next step?
You may print a Single
Family Detached Accessory Structures application, or pick up an application
at the Township Office.
Once you complete the
application, drop it off at the office for review by the Building Code
Official. Once approved, the Building Code Official will notify you to pay and
pick up the permit.
