Accurately Identify Your Business Location

South Fayette Township requires all businesses and organizations within its borders to accurately identify their location as being in South Fayette, regardless of the postal address.

Advertising and property signage must identify "South Fayette" or "South Fayette Township" as the location, even when the South Fayette property’s postal mailing address uses the Bridgeville, Oakdale, McDonald or other ’city name.’

For details, please reference this township article and "truth in advertising" ordinance.
