What permits are required to start a business in Ferguson Township?

To determine if permits are required, contact the Zoning Administrator in the Planning and Zoning Department at (814) 238-4651. The process can be as simple as applying for zoning approval, completing a business survey card and a floor plan layout, and having an inspection completed to move into an existing tenant space.  We encourage you to contact the Zoning Administrator in the Planning and Zoning Department prior to making commitments to rent or purchase property.
