Permits

A Zoning Permit is not required for routine repairs or maintenance. It is required, however, for any improvement that involves new construction, a structural alteration, electrical or plumbing or an addition. Permits are required for, but not limited to:

  • fences
  • swimming pools
  • utility sheds
  • patios, porches and decks
  • signs
  • building demolition
  • garages
  • driveways
  • street excavation

Borough zoning regulations also place various restrictions on the use of property and the location of all improvements and additions on the property. If you are considering any new construction, a structural alteration, or an addition, please call Lindsay Ethridge at (814) 796-4411 or visit the Borough Office at 30 South Park Row before you make any commitments to a contractor or home improvement company.
