Subdivision & Land Development
Subdivision and land development ordinances (often referred to as SALDO) are the most common form of land use regulation in the Commonwealth. The term “subdivision” refers to the act of dividing land and making new lot lines; “land development” is improving the land for some purpose. Both municipalities and counties use this form of regulation. County regulations take effect only in the municipalities in the county that do not have their own regulations. Enactment of a SALDO by a municipality automatically repeals the application of the county ordinance in that municipality. Washington Township has enacted a SALDO which can be viewed by clicking the following link.
