In a move to streamline the property resale process, Upper Darby Township has launched an updated webpage dedicated to use and occupancy (U&O) applications. This new resource aims to simplify the process for property owners, buyers, and real estate agents, making it easier to access essential information and complete the necessary steps for property transactions.

What’s New on the Website?

The revamped U&O webpage, located under the Licenses and Inspection section of the Upper Darby Township website, consolidates all relevant forms, application documents, and detailed guidance for the U&O process. The page serves as a one-stop hub for:

  • Accessing Resale Inspection Forms: Updated and easy-to-navigate documents for single-family homes and duplexes.

  • Understanding Requirements: Clear instructions for property owners and agents navigating the resale inspection process.

  • Streamlining Applications: All necessary information in one place to reduce delays and confusion.

Fee Waiver for Residential Resales

As part of this initiative, Upper Darby Township is currently waiving the U&O application fee for residential resale properties, including single-family homes and duplexes. This temporary fee waiver is intended to encourage homeowners and agents to familiarize themselves with the new system and adopt the updated process.

The fee waiver will remain in effect until March, after which the standard application fee will be reinstated. For those planning a property resale, this is an excellent opportunity to save on costs while benefiting from a simplified application process.

Why This Matters

The updated U&O webpage and fee waiver reflect Upper Darby’s commitment to improving the property transaction experience for its residents. By consolidating resources and removing barriers, the township is making it easier for buyers and sellers to navigate the often-complicated resale process.

This initiative also highlights Upper Darby’s efforts to stay current with the needs of its growing real estate market. With clearer guidance and streamlined applications, property transactions in the township are expected to proceed more efficiently.

What’s Next?

The township plans to monitor feedback on the updated webpage and make further improvements as needed. Officials encourage residents, agents, and property owners to explore the new resources and take advantage of the fee waiver before it ends in March.
