The purpose of Zoning is to ensure that any proposed use, construction, or alteration is allowed in the zone and will be located within the required setbacks from the property lines as required by the Mantua Township Code. This code regulates the setbacks and permitting process for principal structures, additions, decks, gazebos, pools, hot tubs, sheds, basketball courts, patios, fencing, and all other accessory uses and structures. The code protects the integrity of the entire Township.

Any resident contemplating any change or addition to his/her property or home should contact the Zoning Office. By obtaining the required permits, violations will be avoided. If you are selling your home, the presence of a violation can delay your settlement. If you cannot meet the zoning requirements, it is possible to obtain a variance.

Improvements both new and replacements, such as fences, pools, decks, sheds, additions, driveways, etc. require a zoning permit and may also require a construction permit.

Construction permits may not be issued until zoning approval is received.

A zoning permit is required before you change the use or occupancy of a building.

All signs require a zoning permit.

Please note, all Zoning Permits for additions, swimming pools, garages, and sheds must be accompanied by the Grading Compliance Certification form.
