Zoning, Building & Hearings

Mark Deimler of Solanco Engineering is responsible for the issuance of building permits and inspection of construction sites.  If you are contemplating any improvements or alterations to your home, property, or business, contact Mark at 717-786-0355 to discuss your plans and determine if any permits or approvals are required by the township.  We recommend this before spending large sums of time, effort, and money on formal plans.  Mark also assigns house numbers.

Complaint Form

If a complaint involves a neighbor, we please ask that you first take the time to address the problem directly to them. All Complaints must be in writing to the Township. Email to colerain@epix.net or drop off in the black box to the right of the front door.
