 The Planning & Zoning office is responsible for coordinating the planning, development, permitting and building activities within the community.  It is a goal of the Planning & Zoning office to assist residents, property owners, business owners, builders and developers in understanding and complying with the regulations, procedures and ordinances on these matters as established by the Township.
 Currently the Township has in effect the adopted Township Zoning Ordinance No. 2004-01 and the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance No. 91-2.
 The Hopewell Township Zoning Ordinance provides for twelve (12) different zoning districts ranging from R-1 Residential-Agriculture to C-1 Highway Commercial to RID Riverfront Industrial District.  Each particular zoning district allows for specific permitted uses, conditional uses or uses by special exception which are appropriate for the district defined.  The zoning ordinance establishes the general requirements  and the supplemental regulations for each particular district and the overall Township.
 The Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance regulates and provides the process on how properties and land tracts may be subdivided and developed in a consistent, practical and comprehensive manner to the benefit of the community.
 The Township has many forms and pamphlets available to help guide the individual through the permitting process.  Please visit the "On-Line Forms" page of this website to view various documents and forms.
