Permit process note
Cumberland Township's code requires a Township building permit for an "alteration," which it defines to include replacing a roof where the cost exceeds $1,000. Chapter 4, Part 3 of the Township code (Building Permits, Ordinance 32 of 1974) says "It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership, business or corporation to undertake or cause to be undertaken, the construction, reconstruction, enlargement, alteration, or relocation of any building or structure unless an approved building permit has been obtained from the Township Building Permit Officer" and "A building permit shall not be required for repairs to existing buildings or structures, provided that no structural changes or modifications are involved" (Section 4-301), and it defines ALTERATION as "Any work or rearrangement, removal or replacement of any exterior wall, roof or support where the actual cost thereof shall exceed $1,000" (Section 4-302). That Part adopts no building code. Section 4-311 sets a fine of "not less than $25 nor more than $1,000 plus costs" for violating that Part. The Township's pages do not say whether a house reroof needs a Uniform Construction Code permit. The PMCA supplemental fee schedule attached to Resolution 2026-03 lists "Residential Re-Roof $160 (with structural repairs, framing & final)"; the Township's own building permit application fees list a residential building, commercial structures and accessory structures, with no roofing line. The Township's online code (codified through 2015, with later ordinances added) has no chapter adopting the Uniform Construction Code, and its table of ordinances lists none, so the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance was not read for this record. PMCA's website answers its question "I am re-roofing my residential structure – do I need a building permit?" with a letter dated July 20, 2018, addressed "Dear Municipal Official" and naming no municipality, which says "a residential Re-roof still requires compliance with the provisions of the UCC but does not require a building permit" and "If structural work is required such as replacing studs, headers, rafters or trusses a permit would now be required"; PMCA's Re-Roof Application Packet says "A Building Permit is required if there is a structural repair." Under state law, Act 45 section 104(b)(5) and (6) list "Alterations to residential buildings which do not make structural changes or changes to means of egress" and "Repairs to residential buildings" among work the Act does not apply to, "except as might be required by ordinances in effect pursuant to section 303(b)(1) or adopted pursuant to section 503," and 34 Pa. Code 403.62(c) says "A permit is not required for the exceptions listed in § 403.1(b) (relating to scope) and the following, if the work does not violate a law or ordinance." This record does not state whether a Uniform Construction Code permit is required for a house reroof in Cumberland Township; ask the Township office at 717-334-6485 and PMCA at 717-496-4996, extension 172, before starting. The Township office is open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday to Thursday, and closed Friday; the Township says appointments are recommended. Read for this answer: the Township's home page and its Permit Forms, Applications and Documents page, its 2026 Zoning / Land Use Permit Application, Resolution 2026-03 with its attached PMCA fee schedules, and Chapter 4 of the Township code with a code-wide search for "roof"; and PMCA's Permit Applications and FAQ pages, its re-roof letter, Re-Roof Application Packet and ice barrier sheet. The Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance was not found published and was not read.
Adopted code
The 2021 International Residential Code, as adopted by the State in the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC). 34 Pa. Code 403.21(a)(7) adopts "The 'International Residential Code of 2021,' except that:" followed by the State's list of exclusions and modifications, effective January 1, 2026 (55 Pa.B. 7701). None of the State's changes touches Chapter 9, Roof Assemblies, or Section R803, Roof Sheathing, so those apply as the International Code Council publishes them. Work on existing buildings is also pointed to the State's existing-building code: "The repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition and relocation of existing buildings must comply with Chapter 34 of the 'International Building Code of 2021' or with the 'International Existing Building Code of 2021'" (34 Pa. Code 403.21(f)). The UCC is the minimum everywhere in the state: "no municipality may propose or enact any ordinance which is less than the minimum requirement of the Uniform Construction Code" (Pennsylvania Construction Code Act, Act 45 of 1999, section 503(b)). The Act also lists work it "shall not apply to", including "Alterations to residential buildings which do not make structural changes or changes to means of egress" or to "Repairs to residential buildings," in each case "except as might be required by ordinances" kept in force under section 303(b)(1) or adopted under section 503 (Act 45 section 104(b)(5) and (6); 34 Pa. Code 403.1(b)(8) and (9)). The Act defines a repair as "The reconstruction or renewal of any part of an existing building for the purpose of its maintenance." So whether the code's roofing rules reach a given house reroof depends on the municipality's own ordinances. Everything above is Pennsylvania state law, the same in every municipality. Locally, Cumberland Township uses a third-party agency for the code: the Township's Permit Forms, Applications and Documents page lists "Building Permit Applications" under "Submit to PMCA" (Pennsylvania Municipal Code Alliance, Inc.), gives the "PMCA Address: 1895 B York Road Gettysburg, PA 17325," and says "ALL ZONING/LAND USE APPLICATIONS FOR CUMBERLAND TOWNSHIP ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY PMCA," and the Township's 2026 fee resolution (Resolution 2026-03) attaches PMCA's plan review and inspection fee schedules. The Township's online code (codified through 2015, with later ordinances added) has no chapter adopting the Uniform Construction Code, and its table of ordinances lists none, so the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance was not read for this record. The Township's pages name no code edition; PMCA's ice barrier sheet says "All Municipalities Served by PMCA follow and enforce the provisions of the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC)," and this record has not read the 2018 edition's text and does not decide which edition PMCA applies.
Repair permit threshold
State law sets no square-footage or percentage threshold for roof work; any threshold is set locally. The Uniform Construction Code "does not apply to" "Alterations to residential buildings which do not make structural changes or changes to means of egress, except as required by ordinances in effect under sections 303(b)(1) or 503 of the act" or to "Repairs to residential buildings, except as required by ordinances in effect under sections 303(b)(1) and 503 of the act" (34 Pa. Code 403.1(b)(8) and (9)), and "A permit is not required for the exceptions listed in § 403.1(b) (relating to scope) and the following, if the work does not violate a law or ordinance" (34 Pa. Code 403.62(c)). For houses the regulation adds: "An ordinary repair does not require a permit." Its list of work that is not an ordinary repair names cutting away a load-bearing wall, "The removal or cutting of any structural beam or load-bearing support," changes to a required means of egress, and new or relocated piping, wiring or mechanical work (34 Pa. Code 403.62(d)); roofing is not named. A municipality may require more: under Act 45 section 503(c) it "may enact ordinances pursuant to this section which adopt additional code requirements for alterations or repairs to residential buildings," after a public hearing and after filing the proposed ordinance with the Department of Labor and Industry. These rules concern a "Residential building," which the regulation defines as "Detached one-family and two-family dwellings and townhouses which are not more than three stories above grade plane in height with a separate means of egress and their accessory structures" (34 Pa. Code 401.1). Everything above is Pennsylvania state law, the same in every municipality. Locally, Cumberland Township uses a third-party agency for the code: the Township's Permit Forms, Applications and Documents page lists "Building Permit Applications" under "Submit to PMCA" (Pennsylvania Municipal Code Alliance, Inc.), gives the "PMCA Address: 1895 B York Road Gettysburg, PA 17325," and says "ALL ZONING/LAND USE APPLICATIONS FOR CUMBERLAND TOWNSHIP ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY PMCA," and the Township's 2026 fee resolution (Resolution 2026-03) attaches PMCA's plan review and inspection fee schedules. The Township's online code (codified through 2015, with later ordinances added) has no chapter adopting the Uniform Construction Code, and its table of ordinances lists none, so the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance was not read for this record. Chapter 4, Part 3 of the Township code (Building Permits, Ordinance 32 of 1974) says "It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership, business or corporation to undertake or cause to be undertaken, the construction, reconstruction, enlargement, alteration, or relocation of any building or structure unless an approved building permit has been obtained from the Township Building Permit Officer" and "A building permit shall not be required for repairs to existing buildings or structures, provided that no structural changes or modifications are involved" (Section 4-301), and it defines ALTERATION as "Any work or rearrangement, removal or replacement of any exterior wall, roof or support where the actual cost thereof shall exceed $1,000" (Section 4-302). That Part adopts no building code. No Township text read sets a threshold for roof work other than that $1,000 cost line in the Part 3 definition.
Roof layer limit / recover
Two layers at most where the state code reaches the job. Pennsylvania adopts the 2021 International Residential Code without changing its reroofing section, R908 (34 Pa. Code 403.21(a)(7); the State's list of changes names no Chapter 9 section). Section R908.3.1.1 says "A roof recover shall not be permitted where any of the following conditions occur," and the third condition is "Where the existing roof has two or more applications of any type of roof covering." So one existing layer may be covered once, and a roof that already has two layers is torn off to the deck. The same section also bars a recover "Where the existing roof or roof covering is water soaked or has deteriorated to the point that the existing roof or roof covering is not adequate as a base for additional roofing" and "Where the existing roof covering is slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile." The existing-building code the State also adopts, the 2021 International Existing Building Code (34 Pa. Code 403.21(f)), carries the same three conditions in Section 705.2.1.1. These rules bind work the Uniform Construction Code reaches. The Act does not apply to "Repairs to residential buildings" or to alterations that make no structural change, "except as might be required by ordinances" (Act 45 section 104(b)(5) and (6)), so whether R908 binds a particular house reroof turns on that exclusion and on the municipality's own ordinances. Everything above is Pennsylvania state law, the same in every municipality. Locally, Cumberland Township uses a third-party agency for the code: the Township's Permit Forms, Applications and Documents page lists "Building Permit Applications" under "Submit to PMCA" (Pennsylvania Municipal Code Alliance, Inc.), gives the "PMCA Address: 1895 B York Road Gettysburg, PA 17325," and says "ALL ZONING/LAND USE APPLICATIONS FOR CUMBERLAND TOWNSHIP ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY PMCA," and the Township's 2026 fee resolution (Resolution 2026-03) attaches PMCA's plan review and inspection fee schedules. The Township's online code (codified through 2015, with later ordinances added) has no chapter adopting the Uniform Construction Code, and its table of ordinances lists none, so the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance was not read for this record. The Township's pages name no code edition; PMCA's ice barrier sheet says "All Municipalities Served by PMCA follow and enforce the provisions of the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC)," and this record has not read the 2018 edition's text and does not decide which edition PMCA applies; the text above is the 2021 edition's. PMCA's re-roof letter says "Metal roofing should not be installed over more than two layers of shingles without the authorization of a design professional."
Deck & sheathing requirements
State rules from the base code, where the state code reaches the job. Pennsylvania adopts the 2021 International Residential Code without changing Section R803, Roof Sheathing (34 Pa. Code 403.21(a)(7); the State's changes to Chapter 8 are to ridge framing and attic ventilation). Lumber roof sheathing follows Table R803.1: over rafters or beams 24 inches apart it must be at least 5/8 inch net thick. Wood structural panels "shall be identified for grade, bond classification and performance category by a grade mark or certificate of inspection issued by an approved agency," and their spans "shall not exceed the values set forth in Table R503.2.1.1(1) or APA E30." For shingles, "Asphalt shingles shall be fastened to solidly sheathed decks" (R905.2.1), and on any reroof "The structural roof components shall be capable of supporting the roof covering system and the material and equipment loads that will be encountered during installation of the roof covering system" (R908.2). These rules bind work the Uniform Construction Code reaches; the Act does not apply to "Repairs to residential buildings" or to alterations that make no structural change, "except as might be required by ordinances" (Act 45 section 104(b)(5) and (6)). Act 45 section 104(b)(5) excludes alterations "which do not make structural changes or changes to means of egress" and says only that "a structural change does not include a minor framing change needed to replace existing windows or doors"; 34 Pa. Code 403.62(d)(2) lists "The removal or cutting of any structural beam or load-bearing support" as not an ordinary repair. Neither names roof sheathing; this record does not decide whether replacing it is either. Everything above is Pennsylvania state law, the same in every municipality. Locally, Cumberland Township uses a third-party agency for the code: the Township's Permit Forms, Applications and Documents page lists "Building Permit Applications" under "Submit to PMCA" (Pennsylvania Municipal Code Alliance, Inc.), gives the "PMCA Address: 1895 B York Road Gettysburg, PA 17325," and says "ALL ZONING/LAND USE APPLICATIONS FOR CUMBERLAND TOWNSHIP ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY PMCA," and the Township's 2026 fee resolution (Resolution 2026-03) attaches PMCA's plan review and inspection fee schedules. The Township's online code (codified through 2015, with later ordinances added) has no chapter adopting the Uniform Construction Code, and its table of ordinances lists none, so the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance was not read for this record. PMCA's Re-Roof Application Packet says "A Building Permit is required if there is a structural repair"; it does not name roof sheathing. The Township's pages name no code edition; PMCA's ice barrier sheet says "All Municipalities Served by PMCA follow and enforce the provisions of the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC)," and this record has not read the 2018 edition's text and does not decide which edition PMCA applies; the text above is the 2021 edition's.
Sales & use tax
6% Pennsylvania sales and use tax, with a local tax added on purchases made in Allegheny County (1%) and Philadelphia (2%). On a reroof the roofer pays the tax on the materials and does not add it to the homeowner's bill. The Department of Revenue says: "The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. By law, a 1 percent local tax is added to purchases made in Allegheny County, and 2 percent local tax is added to purchases made in Philadelphia." Roof work is a construction activity: the rule's list of items "presumed to become a permanent part of real estate" includes "Roofing (repairs)" (61 Pa. Code 31.11). For construction activities, "A contractor shall pay tax upon the purchase price ... of all property, including materials, equipment, components and supplies, which he furnishes and installs" (61 Pa. Code 31.12(a)(1)), and the rule's example says the contractor "does not charge sales tax on this transaction to his customer. The contractor may include the tax he must pay in his bid proposal but not as a separately stated item." Apart from limited exceptions set out in the rule, the same holds on jobs for tax-exempt owners: "a contractor erecting a building, repairing a roof, replacing a door for a governmental agency, ... school district, charitable or religious organization, and the like, shall pay tax upon the property which he consumes" (61 Pa. Code 31.13(a)). Everything above is Pennsylvania state law, the same in every municipality. Cumberland Township is in Adams County. The Township's permit pages and fee resolution say nothing on sales tax.

What building code does Township of Cumberland, PA use?

The 2021 International Residential Code, as adopted by the State in the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC). 34 Pa. Code 403.21(a)(7) adopts "The 'International Residential Code of 2021,' except that:" followed by the State's list of exclusions and modifications, effective January 1, 2026 (55 Pa.B. 7701). None of the State's changes touches Chapter 9, Roof Assemblies, or Section R803, Roof Sheathing, so those apply as the International Code Council publishes them. Work on existing buildings is also pointed to the State's existing-building code: "The repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition and relocation of existing buildings must comply with Chapter 34 of the 'International Building Code of 2021' or with the 'International Existing Building Code of 2021'" (34 Pa. Code 403.21(f)). The UCC is the minimum everywhere in the state: "no municipality may propose or enact any ordinance which is less than the minimum requirement of the Uniform Construction Code" (Pennsylvania Construction Code Act, Act 45 of 1999, section 503(b)). The Act also lists work it "shall not apply to", including "Alterations to residential buildings which do not make structural changes or changes to means of egress" or to "Repairs to residential buildings," in each case "except as might be required by ordinances" kept in force under section 303(b)(1) or adopted under section 503 (Act 45 section 104(b)(5) and (6); 34 Pa. Code 403.1(b)(8) and (9)). The Act defines a repair as "The reconstruction or renewal of any part of an existing building for the purpose of its maintenance."
