Background

On April 1, 2024, the Township Board of Supervisors passed two ordinances that created a rental program for Londonderry Township, those Ordinances are 2024-02 and 2024-03 and became effective on April 6, 2024.

Ordinance 2024-02 was multiple amendments to Chapter 27 Zoning of the Township Code of Ordinances. These amendments made modifications to several definitions and districts for permitted uses. Those modifications included, defining Long-Term Rentals, defining and allowing Short-Term Rentals, updating definitions and permitted districts for Bed & Breakfasts, and several other updates and changes not related to rental housing.

Ordinance 2024-03 established a new chapter of the Township Code of Ordinances, Chapter 11 Rental Housing. This chapter includes provisions for Township administration of the rental housing program, requirements for owners and property managers, and other provisions for the licensing and inspection of rental housing.
