Telecommunication Towers and Facility Buildings Ordinance -The technical developments in the telecommunication field have provided new options for the expansion and delivery of communication services to Washington Township residents. 

 The Board of Supervisors recognizes that the Township and it's fire and emergency services, residents and visitors rely on wireless communication services for business and personal use. Therefore, we desire to encourage efficient and adequate wireless communication services within the Township while at the same time protecting the health, safety and welfare of the residents by regulating the construction and placement of communication towers and antennas with local regulations consistent with the interests of Washington Township and it's residents and the limitations imposed by Federal and State statutes and regulations. 

Building Occupancy Permits- No new structure occupied as a residence or accessory use to a residence or any existing structure occupied for any other purpose shall be so occupied by any person, partnership, corporation, or other type entity unless an occupancy permit has been issued by the Code Enforcement Officer for Washington Township allowing occupancy of the same.
