HOW DOES A STREET BECOME DEDICATED?

     When a developer builds the majority of the houses in a
development, and proceeds in paving all of the streets in that
development, he then puts in a request to the township to have
those streets dedicated.

     The township in turn asks their engineer to inspect all of the
new streets in the development to see if they meet up to the
township's requirements and specifications for dedication. The
engineer then puts together a punch list of the items that need
to be addressed by the developer prior to dedication.

     The developer then has to fix all of the items posted on the
punch list before the township will accept the streets for
dedication.

     Once that is completed the township will then make the
decision to accept the dedication of the streets. After the
dedication of the streets is accepted, a deed of dedication is
drawn up and sent to the Court House in Doylestown to be filed, which shows a record that the township now owns those streets.
