Township paperwork to ask about
Abington's Use & Occupancy page describes new businesses and commercial transfers, and does not address a home sale. The Fire Marshal's Office, at 1176 Old York Road and open 7:30 am to 5 pm, is a sensible first call to ask what the township expects when a house changes hands. The number is 267-536-1057. Ask early, because any inspection date has to fit your move. If the answer is unclear, ask in writing and keep the reply with your closing papers.
