The Borough of
Pottstown has established a comprehensive zoning
plan to benefit residents, business, and historic
buildings. Our goal is to improve the Borough on
many levels by establishing areas in the Borough
that will help to upgrade the Borough, it's residents
and businesses with a well thought out plan.

Shade
Tree Program
Pottstown does not have the huge lawns of the suburbs
or the open fields of the countryside. We are densely
populated, with houses and other buildings placed close
to each other and to the street. If we want to bring
nature into our town, we must do it with shade trees.

Pottstown
Historic District
Pottstown Council has established two historic districts
to protect the Borough’s oldest and most historic
buildings. Our goal is to ensure that any change to
the exterior of a building in the districts is compatible
with its historic appearance. This reinforces the districts’
historic character and maintains property values.
If you want to subdivide a property
or develop land, you will need to fill out a subdivision
and land development application.
