DO I NEED A ZONING PERMIT?

Zoning permits are required whenever a property owner intends to build a structure, add onto a building or structure, alter a building or structure, and/or change the use of land or buildings. So, if you’re planning on making improvements to your property, the answer to the question, “Do I need a permit?” is probably yes.

A permit is issued when the property owner, through submission of an application and supporting documentation, (such as a plot plan) demonstrates the proposed improvements are in compliance with the zoning ordinance, i.e., the proposed shed will be set-back far enough from the property boundary . Acquisition of a zoning permit prior to the start of work is a legal obligation of the property owner. Issuance of a zoning permit demonstrates the proposed improvement is lawful, and as such, obtaining a zoning permit helps to protect the value of the investment.

Most people are aware that a permit is required to build a house or garage, but sometimes it’s not so clear when contemplating projects of a smaller scope. The lists below identify some common residential improvements and whether or not a zoning permit is required.

The following projects need a zoning permit:

• Building a deck.
• Building a patio.
• Constructing a pergola or trellis.
• Building a shed, or having a prefab shed installed on your property.
• Enclosing an existing screened-in porch.
• Building a roof over an existing deck.
• Starting a business at your residence.
• Construction/installation of above-ground and in-ground swimming pools.

The following projects do not need a zoning permit:

• Planting a garden.
• Planting trees and landscaping (unless it involves construction of walls and/or hardscaping).
• Constructing/installing a garden pond. Note: large ponds involving alteration of drainage patterns and storm water flow require a permit.
• Erecting a swing set or trampoline.
• Placement of a seasonal, child’s wading pool, provided it is less than 24” deep.
• Replacing siding.
• Replacing roofing.
• finishing a basement
• Replacing windows and doors provided the size of the openings are not changing, and the work does not involve alterations, e.g., changing a door opening into a window or a window into a door.
• Home repairs, cosmetic improvements, and maintenance.

Keep in mind: In addition to the requirement of a zoning permit, many of the projects listed above may also require a building permit in accordance with the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and sometimes building permits may be required when a zoning permit is not, such as for changes to plumbing or electrical work.
