Request a Copy of Survey

Zoning permits require a survey to complete the application process. 

When submitting a survey to the Township, please use copies of the original, only. These copies will be marked up with information of work being requested and notes by the designated officer. Notes may change over the course of review. Retain the original sealed copies for your records.

*Note: The Township does not have a repository of the surveys for every property in Edgewater Park. Surveys may also be produced by a surveyor company.

Dumpster Requirements

Dumpsters require approval from the Township. They are approved for use up to 30 days and must be place in the driveway. Corner properties may be subject to additional requirements. If a dumpster cannot be placed in the driveway, further instruction from the Zoning Official is required, as the dumpster cannot obstruct traffic without proper coning and traffic coordination.
