Planning and Zoning
Purpose:
Springfield Township strives to make our community a better place to live, work, and play.
Administering and enforcing the Springfield Township zoning resolution, property maintenance code, and state nuisance & junk motor vehicle codes, our community is safer and more attractive.
Maintaining pride in our community requires the partnership and participation of all residents, businesses, and visitors. The Springfield Township’s various codes and resolutions are intended to benefit everyone, and these regulations are minimum standards designed to protect your neighborhood, reduce vandalism, deter crime, maintain property values, and prevent blight in your neighborhood.
