Review Process

Your building plans are reviewed by certified individuals knowledgeable in building, plumbing, fire, and mechanical codes. They also inspect your project at several points before completion. Note that electrical plan reviews and inspections are fulfilled by a third party of your choice and provided to the Township accordingly. This ensures that your structure meets the building code requirements for the State of Pennsylvania as well as the Warwick Township Code.  Your permit fees are calculated based on the cost and/or size of your project. See the Warwick Township Fee Schedule below for more information.  Contractors are required to supply their Contractor’s State Registration information to Warwick Township when applicable.  Warwick does not accept faxed permit applications.
