The flowcharts listed below have been designed and implemented by the Borough Council in recognition that major projects often require multiple permits and it can be confusing and difficult for the homeowner to meet all the requirements in an organized and efficient manner when working just with the information on the Borough of Bear Creek Village website. It is the sincere hope of the Borough Council that these flowcharts will make the process a little easier.
The permits listed below are required to assure that all future development is compliant with PA State Law, Borough Ordinances and that it will contribute to the continued positive development of our beautiful community. If a permit is required, it is not optional and you may not start work on a project until all required permits have been obtained. If you have questions, please contact: Zoning Officer - Julia Chaffee at jchaffee@bearcreekvillageborough.org
