Planning & Zoning
The Planning & Zoning staff deals with planning, zoning, subdivisions, conditional use, land development and other issues, while coordinating closely with Building & Code. The department works with the Planning Commission, the Zoning Hearing Board and the Environmental Advisory Council.
FRAUD NOTICE: Some applicants have received fraudulent payment requests from scammers claiming that the applicant must pay money to the township. The township never requests wire transfers as payment. These emails may use convincing language that includes details about a specific project. If you receive any unexpected or suspicious invoices or payment requests, please check with the township by calling us at 412-221-8700. Thank you.

Accurately Identify Your Business Location
South Fayette Township requires all businesses and organizations within its borders to accurately identify their location as being in South Fayette, regardless of the postal address.
Advertising materials (print and digital) and property signage must identify "South Fayette" or "South Fayette Township" as the location, even when the South Fayette property’s postal mailing address uses the Bridgeville, Oakdale, McDonald or other ’city name.’
For details, please reference this township article and "truth in advertising" ordinance.
