Core offering

South Middleton Township is a Pennsylvania Second Class Township that delivers core municipal services to roughly 14,500–16,000 residents across 51.6 square miles, including building and zoning permitting, planning and land development review, public road maintenance, MS4 stormwater management, parks and recreation programs, public records access, and transparent governance via public meetings. The Township operates a CivicPlus CivicEngage website that integrates Notify Me alerts, iCalendar feeds, online forms, and electronic plan submission to provide these services.

Product overview

South Middleton Township operates a single, unified government web property (smiddleton.com) built on the CivicPlus CivicEngage content management and civic engagement platform. The site functions as a platform-plus-modules architecture: a core civic website provides government information and access points, while a set of feature modules — Notify Me® (subscription alerts), Calendar & iCalendar Feeds, Form Center, Community Development Applications, Permitting Services, Zoning Services, Planning Services, Parks & Recreation Online Registration, Boards & Commissions pages, Authority Board Portal, Public Records Request Portal, and the MS4 Stormwater Management Program — extend the platform with self-service capabilities for residents, builders, and businesses. The integration with CivicPlus identity (Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft), Google reCAPTCHA-protected forms, iCalendar feeds for external calendar apps, and a Rec1-powered parks registration catalog ties these modules together into a single resident-facing portal for the Township.
