Zoning helps protect the health, safety, and overall well-being of our community. Through common-sense regulations, zoning ensures that property is used in ways that respect neighbors and support the character and quality of life in Coventry Township.

Most construction projects—ranging from fences and decks to homes and businesses—require a zoning permit. Our complete Zoning Resolution is available for download on this site or may be purchased for a nominal fee at the Zoning Office.

In addition to the Zoning Inspector, Coventry Township is served by two appointed boards that oversee zoning-related matters. The Zoning Commission conducts meetings and public hearings for proposed changes to the Zoning Resolution, while the Board of Zoning Appeals considers requests for variances following a public hearing. Adjacent property owners are notified of variance requests and are encouraged to share their opinions or concerns during the hearing process.
