On September 3, 1974 the
Dingman Township Zoning
Ordinance became
effective. The
Ordinance was the
culmination of years of
hard work by the Dingman
Township Board of
Supervisors and its
Planning Commission who
recognized the
township's potential and
foresaw the need to
regulate its growth.
The Ordinance is
reviewed on a periodic
basis and updated as
needed to remain current
in our changing
environment.
In accordance with the
Pennsylvania
Municipalities Planning
Code, the Dingman
Township Zoning
Ordinance classifies
permit applications into
four categories.
Principal Uses and
Accessory Uses are
issued directly by the
Zoning Officer.
Conditional Uses require
a public hearing before
the Board of
Supervisors. Special
Exceptions and Variances
require a public hearing
before the Zoning
Hearing Board. All
zoning permit
applications must be
initiated through the
Zoning Officer.
The Dingman Township
Zoning Officer is Chris
Wood. He conducts
office hours Monday
through Friday between 9
and 10:30 A.M. at the
Dingman Township
Municipal Building on
Fisher Lane. Requests
for inspections must be
made directly with the
Zoning Officer during
office hours.
Inspection requests sent
by e-mail, fax, etc.
will not be honored.
Violation complaints
must be made in writing
and contain the
signature and telephone
number of the person
making the complaint.
Anonymous complaints
will not be accepted.
Parties filing
complaints should
provide sufficient
detail to positively
identify the violation
site.
