Commonwealth Code Inspect. Services, Inc.
Commonwealth Code Inspection Service, Inc. (CCIS) manages and conducts the Township’s building inspection program.
Construction in Washington Township requires that certain inspections be completed during the building process. Some additional inspections are performed by Washington Township officers for the purpose of ensuring compliance with “land use permit” requirements.
In June 2004 Washington Township adopted “The Pennsylvania Construction Code Act”, which requires that most construction projects within the township have their plans reviewed and inspections performed by a qualified building or construction code official. For this reason, a “construction permit”in addition to the “land use permit” is now required.
Washington Township’s Code official is:

CCIS can answer any questions you have about the “construction permit“, and qualified inspectors can address questions about the inspection process.
