Suburban Realtors Alliance staff and Realtors recently met with Upper Darby officials to discuss upcoming changes to the township’s use and occupancy inspection process. Starting Jan. 2, 2025, the process will include interior inspections. Resale applications and payments should be submitted three to four weeks prior to the settlement date to allow sufficient time for scheduling inspections. Duplexes, triplexes, other multifamily properties and commercial properties will also be required to submit a zoning certificate with the initial resale application. Instructions for receiving a zoning certificate from the township will be included in the Use and Occupancy application instructions. Sewer lateral inspection reports will remain valid for 90 days. Two township coordinators will assist with processing applications and assigning use and occupancy inspections. Once an inspection is completed, property owners should receive one of the following certificates within one or two business days, depending on the property’s condition: a clear Use and Occupancy Certificate, a Temporary Use and Occupancy Certificate, or a Temporary Access Certificate. More information is available on the township’s property resale webpage. The Suburban Realtors Alliance will continue to provide updates through weekly news briefs and the municipal database profile for Upper Darby Township.
