Residential numbers must be at least three (3) inches high and commercial must be at least four "4" inches high. Both must be made of a durable and clearly visible material. Numbers should be conspicuously placed on or above the main entrance so that they may be seen from the street. If they are not clearly visible from the street or if the main entrance is more than fifty (50) feet from the street; a second set of numbers must be posted on a mailbox or post at the end of the walk or driveway leading to the structure.

Permits are required for all building projects. Generally if you are contemplating any construction, enlargement, alteration or demolition of any structure you must apply for a building razing permit. You may also be required to apply for a water and sewer tap. Call the Borough Office to see which regulations apply to your project.
