Before you buy a lot near Jenkintown with a plan in mind, pull up the Conshohocken zoning map before anything else: the zoning district decides setbacks, lot size and uses. In this town guide: who controls zoning for a given parcel, how to match a parcel to its district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up for land near Plymouth Township.
Getting started with the Conshohocken zoning map
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, which means a parcel in this town follows that code, at least around Ambler. Past the city line, around Bridgeport, the county's ordinance, if any, takes over; ask the county planning office to be sure. A fast way to settle it: ask whether the parcel near Narberth is inside the boundary.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Montgomery County parcel viewer; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, West Conshohocken included. When a rural tract has no street number, follow Interstate 276 on the aerial and click the parcel itself. If you're looking near Norristown, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.

The town sits in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, which means parcel data comes from the county around Ambler. With a lot near West Conshohocken, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits near Narberth often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
