The Township’s zoning ordinance is a written regulation that defines how property in a specific zoning district can be used. Washington Township is divided into the following five zoning districts:

Agriculture
Conservation
Conservation Sinks
Village
Woodland Preservation

Useful Zoning Information:

It is essential that the proposed use of a property conform to the zoning for that district. Before purchasing a property or signing a lease, it is recommended that you check the zoning for what uses are permitted.
Depending on the zoning and use of a property, a conditional use hearing may be required. Conditional uses require a review by the Township Planning Commission and a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors. These steps will increase the time it takes to receive an approval and zoning permit.
Driveway permits are required when creating a new driveway opening on Township roads. Driveway openings on State roads require approval from PennDOT. For these driveways, please contact PennDot at (570) 368-8686.
