Georgetown Township is a zoned community which
means that provisions have been adopted and
are enforced to promote and safeguard the public
health, safety and general welfare of the people and
businesses of the Township. The provisions are
intended to regulate the use of land, buildings and
structures to insure their location in appropriate
areas, to reduce hazards to life and property, and to
provide for orderly development within the
Township. Simply speaking, zoning is the tool used by
the Township to balance the rights of the individual
property owner or property dweller with the rights of
the community for the benefit of those who reside or
conduct business within the boundaries.
