Homes in Washington Township
Half of Washington Township's housing units were built in 1962 or earlier, the median year built in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey (B25035; margin of error ±2 years). About 80% of units predate 1980 and 44% predate 1960; 5% were built in 2000 or later (B25034).
About 97% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (B25003) and 87% of housing units are single-family detached houses (B25024). Utility gas is the main heating fuel in about 94% of occupied homes, electricity in 3% and fuel oil or kerosene in 2% (B25040).
Residential building, plumbing and electrical permits are issued by the Township of Washington Building Department (official page). The township's page says permits must be obtained before work starts; emergency furnace, boiler and water-heater replacements must be reported at installation and permitted within five days.
Flooding
The township's mapped flood hazards follow Musquapsink Brook (including the Musquapsink Brook By-Pass) and Pine Brook. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows those streams within the township, and its flood hazard zones layer shows Special Flood Hazard Area Zone AE, including regulatory floodway, inside township limits. Most of the township lies outside those mapped zones. To check a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Permits in Washington Township
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the Township of Washington construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.
