industrial plan review will take up to 30 business days.
The costs involved with the plan review are initially $30 for residential
and $100 for commercial, multi-family and industrial.
This check is to be made payable to York
Township. The application and fees
are submitted to Dallastown Borough. The
remainder of the costs will be noted after the plan review has been approved.
