The annual license fee per residential rental unit is $200 per year. Completed application and fee are due by January 31 annually.
The license will be valid for one year. Licenses will be e-mailed following receipt of completed application and fee. Late fees will be imposed at $50 per unit if the completed application and fee are not received by January 31.

The Township accepts payment of cash, check, credit card, or money order. Checks made payable to Spring Garden Township. Credit card payments are accepted in office and online with a link provided by the office, and will be subject to a 3% convenience fee.
