Kelly Township - Building Permits (Central Keystone Council of Governments)

Kelly Township in Union County sends building and zoning permits through the Central Keystone Council of Governments, 1610 Industrial Boulevard, Lewisburg. The Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code applies statewide, but Act 45 section 104(b) lists "Repairs to residential buildings" and alterations that make no structural or egress change among work it 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."

Permit process note
No Kelly Township text read for this record names roof covering work as building permit work or as exempt from a building permit. Part 1 of Chapter 5 of the Township Code, the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance (Ord. No. 04-04, June 25, 2004), names no roof work either way and adds no permit clause of its own; Section 5-105 says "All ordinances or portion of ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed," and Chapter 4, Buildings, is reserved. Section 27-1202 of the Zoning Ordinance says "Zoning permits shall not be required for" "General exterior maintenance and repair to existing buildings or structures; including siding, roofing, painting" unless the work is proposed within a floodplain district; that exemption speaks to the zoning permit only. The COG's Residential Building Permits page lists among work for which "UCC Building Permits are required" the item "Any roof repair/replacement of framing when attached to the house" and says "If you are unsure whether or not you need a Building Permit or additional approvals, contact us first and we will let you know." That page does not name Kelly Township and does not say whether a reroof that leaves the framing alone needs a permit, and the COG's 2026 fee schedule has no reroofing line; its only roof entry prices a roof-mounted solar electrical inspection. 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." The COG's Residential Building Permits page also says "Even if your project does not require a Building Permit, it may require approval from your Municipality. Always contact your Township or Borough Office before starting any project." This record does not state whether a house reroof needs a building permit in Kelly Township; ask the COG (570-522-1326) before starting. Section 5-108 sets a fine "of not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution" for a violation of the Township's building code. The Township office is at 551 Zeigler Road, Lewisburg (570-524-0437). Read for this answer: Chapter 5 of the Township Code, Code Enforcement (Sections 5-101 to 5-206), in full; the Code's table of contents and Chapter 13; Part 12 of the Zoning Ordinance, Administration and Enforcement; every page of a search of the whole Township Code for "roof" and for "reroofing," which found no building permit provision naming roof work; the Township's Planning & Zoning page; and the COG's Residential Building Permits, Residential Building Permit Fees, Union County members, FAQ and Download Forms pages and its 2026 fee schedule.
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, Kelly Township administers the code through the Central Keystone Council of Governments: Section 5-101 of the Township Code says the Township "does hereby elect to administer and enforce within the Township the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," the Township's Planning & Zoning page lists, under "Building & Zoning Permits," the Central Keystone Council of Governments at 1610 Industrial Boulevard, Suite 400A, Lewisburg (570-522-1326), and the COG names Kelly Township among its Union County members. Section 5-102 says the Uniform Construction Code, "set forth in 34 Pa. Code, Chapters 401 to 405 , as amended from time to time, is hereby adopted as the Township Building Code," and Chapter 5 changes nothing in the code's roofing provisions. The Township's pages name no code edition.
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — No impact-resistance requirement under state law. The State's adoption of the 2021 International Residential Code (34 Pa. Code 403.21) contains no hail or impact rule, and it makes no change to the code's roof assemblies chapter, which itself has no UL 2218, Class 4 or hail-impact requirement for roof coverings. A municipality could add one only by an ordinance that equals or exceeds the Uniform Construction Code under Act 45 section 503, filed with the Department of Labor and Industry; none of the filings on the Department's register of municipal code change ordinances mentions hail or impact resistance. An owner may still choose an impact-rated roof covering. Everything above is Pennsylvania state law, the same in every municipality. Locally, Kelly Township administers the code through the Central Keystone Council of Governments: Section 5-101 of the Township Code says the Township "does hereby elect to administer and enforce within the Township the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," the Township's Planning & Zoning page lists, under "Building & Zoning Permits," the Central Keystone Council of Governments at 1610 Industrial Boulevard, Suite 400A, Lewisburg (570-522-1326), and the COG names Kelly Township among its Union County members. Chapter 5 of the Township Code, read in full, adds no impact-resistance rule; no UL 2218 or Class 4 requirement appears in it.
Repair permit threshold
Kelly Township's code and the pages read for this record do not say whether a house reroof that replaces only the covering needs a building permit. Part 1 of Chapter 5 of the Township Code, the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance (Ord. No. 04-04, June 25, 2004), names no roof work either way and adds no permit clause of its own; Section 5-105 says "All ordinances or portion of ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed," and Chapter 4, Buildings, is reserved. Section 27-1202 of the Zoning Ordinance says "Zoning permits shall not be required for" "General exterior maintenance and repair to existing buildings or structures; including siding, roofing, painting" unless the work is proposed within a floodplain district; that exemption speaks to the zoning permit only. The COG's Residential Building Permits page lists among work for which "UCC Building Permits are required" the item "Any roof repair/replacement of framing when attached to the house" and says "If you are unsure whether or not you need a Building Permit or additional approvals, contact us first and we will let you know." That page does not name Kelly Township and does not say whether a reroof that leaves the framing alone needs a permit, and the COG's 2026 fee schedule has no reroofing line; its only roof entry prices a roof-mounted solar electrical inspection. 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." 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, Kelly Township administers the code through the Central Keystone Council of Governments: Section 5-101 of the Township Code says the Township "does hereby elect to administer and enforce within the Township the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," the Township's Planning & Zoning page lists, under "Building & Zoning Permits," the Central Keystone Council of Governments at 1610 Industrial Boulevard, Suite 400A, Lewisburg (570-522-1326), and the COG names Kelly Township among its Union County members. The COG's list draws its line at roof framing; no Township text read for this record sets an area or cost threshold for roof work.
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, Kelly Township administers the code through the Central Keystone Council of Governments: Section 5-101 of the Township Code says the Township "does hereby elect to administer and enforce within the Township the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," the Township's Planning & Zoning page lists, under "Building & Zoning Permits," the Central Keystone Council of Governments at 1610 Industrial Boulevard, Suite 400A, Lewisburg (570-522-1326), and the COG names Kelly Township among its Union County members. Chapter 5 of the Township Code changes nothing in the code's reroofing provisions, and neither the Township's pages nor the COG's pages say anything on roof layers. The Township's pages name no code edition.
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, Kelly Township administers the code through the Central Keystone Council of Governments: Section 5-101 of the Township Code says the Township "does hereby elect to administer and enforce within the Township the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," the Township's Planning & Zoning page lists, under "Building & Zoning Permits," the Central Keystone Council of Governments at 1610 Industrial Boulevard, Suite 400A, Lewisburg (570-522-1326), and the COG names Kelly Township among its Union County members. Chapter 5 of the Township Code changes nothing in the code's roof sheathing provisions. The COG's Residential Building Permits page lists "Any roof repair/replacement of framing when attached to the house" among work needing a building permit and draws no separate line for roof sheathing.
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. Kelly Township is in Union County. The Township's pages and the COG's 2026 fee schedule say nothing on sales tax.

When does a roof repair need a permit in Township of Kelly, PA?

Kelly Township's code and the pages read for this record do not say whether a house reroof that replaces only the covering needs a building permit. Part 1 of Chapter 5 of the Township Code, the Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance (Ord. No. 04-04, June 25, 2004), names no roof work either way and adds no permit clause of its own; Section 5-105 says "All ordinances or portion of ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed," and Chapter 4, Buildings, is reserved. Section 27-1202 of the Zoning Ordinance says "Zoning permits shall not be required for" "General exterior maintenance and repair to existing buildings or structures; including siding, roofing, painting" unless the work is proposed within a floodplain district; that exemption speaks to the zoning permit only. The COG's Residential Building Permits page lists among work for which "UCC Building Permits are required" the item "Any roof repair/replacement of framing when attached to the house" and says "If you are unsure whether or not you need a Building Permit or additional approvals, contact us first and we will let you know." That page does not name Kelly Township and does not say whether a reroof that leaves the framing alone needs a permit, and the COG's 2026 fee schedule has no reroofing line; its only roof entry prices a roof-mounted solar electrical inspection. 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." 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."

What building code does Township of Kelly, 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." 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.

Section 5-102 says the Uniform Construction Code, "set forth in 34 Pa. Code, Chapters 401 to 405 , as amended from time to time, is hereby adopted as the Township Building Code," and Chapter 5 changes nothing in the code's roofing provisions.
