REMINDER -- Township Building Permits and Board Approvals

Dear Homeowners ... A quick reminder as you get your "home away from home" ready for the summer season ... You need to get approval for any changes as noted below in our Rules & Regulations ...

All construction, including the installation of split rail fencing, sheds, gazebos or pergolas, patios, and underground electrical wiring, requires detailed drawings including site plans and setbacks to be submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval. Please do not try to circumvent this procedure. Once approved, the Board will send an approval letter to Middle Township for those items requiring permits. The homeowner is then responsible for obtaining the necessary permits and for building decks and additions to township building codes and ordinances. The Middle Township Building Inspector’s Office has been increasingly vigilant concerning unauthorized construction to the point of taking pictures of each home in the township and keeping them on file in the Tax Office. You, as the homeowner, are permitted to do your own work. If a contractor is hired, they must be registered with the state and insured, but, you, the homeowner, are responsible for them. Construction debris cannot be placed in the Old Stagecoach trash dumpsters. You must dispose of it at the Waste Transfer Station on Shunpike, or your contractor must take it with them. No augers or any automated type digging equipment shall be used due to the uncertain position of water lines, sewer lines, underground power lines, and cable lines in the resort. A damaged line and subsequent outage could inconvenience the entire community. Please reach out to the Board via their email address ([email protected]) to submit a request or for additional information.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
