Navigating Milton's Zoning Regulations: Key Considerations for Your Project

Embarking on a renovation or construction project in Milton, PA, requires a clear understanding of the Borough's zoning regulations, as detailed in the Milton Borough Zoning Ordinance 2018. These regulations are designed to guide development, ensure public safety, and preserve Milton's unique character as a historic river town. Milton's zoning districts include various Residential (R-1, R-2, R-3), Commercial (C), Industrial (I), and specialized areas like the Business District (B-D). Given Milton's location, the **Flood Plain (F) District** regulations are particularly significant, requiring specific permits and adherence to flood management standards for properties within designated areas.

Common zoning requirements you'll encounter include regulations on lot area, width, coverage, building height, and setbacks (front, side, rear). Union County Contracting is well-versed in Milton's zoning requirements, including the critical floodplain provisions. We help ensure your project complies with all local ordinances, providing expert guidance to navigate the details and secure the necessary approvals.

Streamlining Your Milton Project: Understanding the Building Permit Process

Before commencing construction or significant renovations in Milton, securing a Building Permit is an essential step. The Borough of Milton's Building Permit Application covers various types of work, including new construction, additions, renovations, and alterations to existing structures. This application ensures that your project adheres to local building codes and safety standards.

The process typically requires detailed applicant and property information, a comprehensive description of the proposed work, and an estimated project cost. Key attachments often include two sets of detailed construction plans and site plans, specifications, contractor's insurance certificates, and proof of ownership. For properties located within a designated Flood Plain, an additional Floodplain Development Permit is mandatory. Union County Contracting has extensive experience with Milton's building permit requirements. We assist our clients in preparing and submitting all necessary documentation, helping to streamline the approval process and ensure a smooth path from application to successful project completion, including coordinating required inspections.
