Upper Dublin Township Property Transfer Requirements — What Dresher Sellers Must Know
Dresher is located within Upper Dublin Township. Upper Dublin Township requires a Property Transfer Application for all residential property sales. The process involves an exterior inspection of your property. The most important provision — and the one that produces the most surprise mid-transaction — is the failed curb requirement.
Upper Dublin Township Property Transfer Requirements — Dresher
Required: Yes — for all residential property sales in Upper Dublin Township
Per Ordinance #10-1228: Township official inspects the outside of the property for sidewalk and house number compliance
Critical provision: If curbs or aprons are found in a failed state during the inspection, they must be replaced PRIOR TO SALE — not credited at closing, not escrowed, not negotiated around. Replaced before closing.
