All permit application forms are available to download in PDF format.
The online portal may be used for submissions ONLY for fence permits, shed permits, and patio permits; you can fill out the form, attach the required documents, and pay for the permit online. All other permit types will require mailed, e-mailed, or in-person submission on the required form(s) with the applicable fee. Please email permits@newhanover-pa.org with any questions.
Please note, effective April 10, 2023, all permit applications must be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of $100 for all building/plumbing/electric/mechanical applications and $75 for all zoning-only permits (fences and sheds). The application fee will be deducted from the overall permit cost, the balance of which will be due upon permit issuance. All permit and other fees can be found in the Township Fee Schedule.
