The Borough of Edinboro has opted in for administration and enforcement of the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code Act 45 of 1999.
This means the Borough receives permit applications, reviews plans and issues building permits for residential and commercial projects within
the Borough of Edinboro. Commercial projects do not require plan submission to the Pa Department of Labor and Industry for approval.
Further, all commercial and residential building inspections are performed by the Borough Building Code Department.
As required by the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, Act 45 of 1999, a set of detailed building plans shall be submitted with permit application.
For commercial type projects, a State of Pennsylvania licensed design professional (architect or engineer) shall draw plans and specifications.
This applies to new commercial construction, additions, change of occupancy and interior remodels (Level 1, 2 and 3) for commercial projects.
New residential construction including additions require the submission of a complete set of scaled and legible plans including building footprint,
setbacks from property lines; building height; materials used; footer / foundation size and type; room, window and door sizes; insulation types and
energy conservation compliance; electrical plans; plumbing plans; mechanical plans. Other information may also be needed. Although it is not
required, an architect may design the plans. However, all plans shall provide the required details and information in a neat and thorough manner.
Plans which lack required information will be returned to the applicant.
As always, the initial step for all projects is compliance with the Edinboro Zoning Ordinance. This step requires a separate zoning application
included with this application. If the proposed project does not comply with the zoning regulations and standards, it shall either be redesigned in
a manner which complies or at your option, file an appeal to the Edinboro Zoning Hearing Board. Please note there are no guarantees of approval
since the Board must weigh all applicable facts and criteria when determining approval or disapproval. A separate application and filing fee is required
for appeals to the Zoning Hearing Board. Contact the Building Code Department for such form if needed.
As always, you may contact the Edinboro Building Code Department at 734-1812 ext. 130 or by email jgroh@edinboro.net if you have any questions.
