With the office closings the past year, Township Manager Gordon Gallagher would like to offer 15-minute virtual meetings with residents. If you have concerns that you would like to discuss with Gordon, make an appointment by email, and a virtual meeting link will be sent to you.

Email ggallagher@springlaketwp.org for an appointment or for more information.

In accordance with the "Gatherings and Face Mask" pandemic order, all in-person public meetings are prohibited through March 29. As a result of the order, the March Board of Review meetings MUST be held virtually.

As the meetings will not be in person, all paperwork can be mailed, dropped in our drop box (in the front of the building, or behind the building in the parking lot), or emailed to Assessor Heather Singleton at hsingleton@springlaketwp.org. The Petition to Board of Review form must be completed, signed, and submitted for consideration.

Residential accessory buildings shall be constructed with durable, hard-sided materials, such as wood, metal, or pre-manufactured siding, that are weather and rust resistant. Residential accessory buildings which consist of construction materials such as a plastic tarp or other type of flexible fabric or similar material, stretched over a frame of poles, have been prohibited in the Township since 2012.

There are also limits on the size of an accessory building, based on the size of your lot. See Section 306 of the Zoning Ordinance for more information.

If you are planning to build an accessory building, a zoning permit is necessary. A building permit is only necessary for accessory buildings larger than 200 square feet.
