Building and planning
|
Effective February 11, 2021 a new drop box has been installed at the Bensalem Township Building and Planning Department. The depository style box was placed externally at the south (side) entrance of the township building.
Now an applicant can simply drive to the municipal complex and “drop” paperwork into the box. The box will be checked on a rotation basis throughout the work day. Questions? Please contact the Building and Planning Department at 215-633-3600. |
