Code Enforcement
The Township employs various personnel to enforce local code requirements related to:

Building Code Office
The Township of Upper Chichester is required to enforce the PA State Uniform Construction Code (UCC). We do this through a third party agency for permit approval, plan review, and inspections. Upper Chichester Township Permits are: Building, Electrical, Fire Protection, Mechanical, and Plumbing.
Engineering
When projects are 750 square feet or more, Grading and Stormwater Management (SWM) are required to be implemented for a project. A Grading permit with fee, plans signed and sealed by an engineer, and an Escrow Account are required if the project size meets the requirements. Please see Ordinance 490: Stormwater Management and contact the License & Inspection Coordinator for additional information.
