The West Chester Board of Trustees has extended its waiver of specific residential permits until further notice to add financial relief and to encourage residents to apply for the required permits for their work.

The Trustees first approved a waiver of these fees in April 2020 and extended the waiver again in June. As the year was ending, the Trustees decided to extend the waiver indefinitely. Permit fees waived include residential accessory structures, residential fences and decks, residential pools, residential alterations and additions and home occupation.

Fences, pools, and other home improvements also need to be approved by the Knottingwood Estates’ HOA Architectural Review Board. To submit an application, visit https://knottingwoodestates.org/online-architectural-approval-form/
