Chester City is the county's only city and is governed by a Council. Its listing looks different from the boroughs and townships around it, because zoning sits with a planning director rather than a zoning officer.

What to know about permits in Chester City
Someone expecting a Zoning Officer will not find one. The zoning function belongs to the Director of Planning and Zoning, W. Paul Fritz, with Kim Pinder-Garner listed as Assistant Planning Director. That is why the Zoning Officer row in the contact block is empty.
Brian Razzi is the listed Building Inspector. The directory shows no dedicated Code Enforcement Officer and no UCC Board of Appeals for the city, so those questions can start with the City Clerk/Secretary, Candice Newsome, at 610-447-7700.
Council meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. The Planning Commission (2nd Wednesday) and the Zoning Hearing Board (3rd Wednesday) both meet on Wednesdays as well.
