PERMITS

BUILDING & DEMOLITION PERMITS

BUILDING PERMITS ARE REQUIRED FOR MANY TYPES OF BUILDING PROJECTS. There is information available in the Borough office but the best thing to do is contact one of our Inspection companies to make sure that your job is not in violation of building codes.  This is their specialty and they will be able to give you the best course of action to take when contemplating a project.


The Borough contracts with Northeast Inspection Consultants (NEIC) and Building Inspection Underwriters of PA, Inc.  (BIU) :

Please visit their websites for information on building permits. Permit applications are also available in the Borough Office. Permit applications must be reviewed by an Inspector from one of these Providers,  must be submitted to the Borough with payment before permits can be issued, then work can begin.

Work may not begin until the permits have been paid for and issued by the inspector.

RESIDENTIAL RENTAL

Occupancy permits are required for all residential rental units located in the Borough. The cost of an inspection is $60 per unit.  Inspections are required when a building changes ownership and/or when there is a change in tenancy.
