Borough of Lititz - Zoning and Code Enforcement

The Borough of Lititz takes building permit applications at the Borough Office, 7 South Broad Street, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections; no Borough page or code section read names reroofing as permit work or as exempt. 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 Borough of Lititz text read names reroofing as permit work or as exempt. Chapter 36 of the Borough Code, the Borough's Uniform Construction Code ordinance (Ord. No. C-481, December 27, 2006, as amended), names no roof work either way. For permits it "adopts and incorporates Sections 403.41, 403.42, 403.42a, 403.43, 403.44, 403.47, 403.48, 403.61, 403.62, 403.62a, 403.63 and 403.66 of the Labor and Industry Regulations," which are the State's own permit rules, with added text on responsibility for obtaining permits and posting them. Section 36-3 also amends 34 Pa. Code 403.21(c) "to incorporate the provisions of the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998"; that older Borough Building Code is not published with the Code and was not read. Separately, Section 701 of the Borough's Zoning Ordinance has applications go to the Zoning Officer to "Construct or alter a structure" and says "A permit is not required for ordinary repair of structures," with exceptions that do not name roof work. The Borough's 2025 residential UCC fee schedule from Code Administrators, Inc. and its Building/Zoning Fee Schedule price "Additions/Alterations" generally and have no roofing line, and the residential building permit application's work-type boxes are "New Building Addition Alteration Repair Demolition Relocation" with no roofing box. No Borough page read names reroofing as permit work or as exempt. 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 Borough's permit rules are the State's own, and the older Borough Building Code it keeps was not read, so this record does not decide whether the Borough requires a permit for an ordinary reroof. Ask the Borough's Zoning and Code Enforcement office at 717-626-2044 before work starts. Read for this answer: Chapter 36 of the Borough Code, Construction Code, Uniform; Property Maintenance, in full; every page of a search of the whole Borough Code for "roof" and for "reroofing," which found no permit provision naming roof work; the permit sections and every "roof" passage of the Borough's Zoning Ordinance; the Borough's Zoning and Code Enforcement, Code Inspections and Fee Schedules pages; the residential building permit and zoning permit applications; and the residential UCC and Building/Zoning fee schedules. Section 108.4 of the Borough's construction code says anyone who starts work "before obtaining the necessary construction code permits shall be subject to an additional fee for expedited processing which shall be equal to the fee which should have been paid at permit application." The Borough's Building/Zoning Fee Schedule says zoning permits are "Required for all UCC related permits." The Borough Office is at 7 South Broad Street, Lititz, telephone 717-626-2044.
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, The Borough of Lititz administers the code, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections: Section 36-4 of the Borough Code has Borough Council appoint a Building Code Official, who receives "uniform construction code permit applications," and a Construction Code Official, who "may be a third party agency"; the Borough's Code Inspections page names Code Administrators, Inc., and the Borough's residential building permit application is headed by both "CODE ADMINISTRATORS, INC." and "BOROUGH OF LITITZ," with the Borough's 7 S Broad Street address. Section 36-3 adopts the standards the Department of Labor and Industry has made part of the Uniform Construction Code as the Borough of Lititz Construction Code, and Section 36-4B fills in Table R301.2(1), including "Ice shield underlayment required: yes"; Chapter 36 changes nothing in the code's roofing provisions. It also incorporates "the provisions of the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998," which is not published with the Code and was not read. Section 36-3C adopts the "2006 International Residential Code" among the Borough's official codes and says "To the extent that these Code(s) are updated or amended in the future, the Borough hereby automatically adopts the updated version(s)," and the Borough's pages name no code edition; this record has not read the 2006 edition's text and does not decide which edition the Borough applies.
Repair permit threshold
No Borough of Lititz text read names reroofing as permit work or as exempt. Chapter 36 of the Borough Code, the Borough's Uniform Construction Code ordinance (Ord. No. C-481, December 27, 2006, as amended), names no roof work either way. For permits it "adopts and incorporates Sections 403.41, 403.42, 403.42a, 403.43, 403.44, 403.47, 403.48, 403.61, 403.62, 403.62a, 403.63 and 403.66 of the Labor and Industry Regulations," which are the State's own permit rules, with added text on responsibility for obtaining permits and posting them. Section 36-3 also amends 34 Pa. Code 403.21(c) "to incorporate the provisions of the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998"; that older Borough Building Code is not published with the Code and was not read. Separately, Section 701 of the Borough's Zoning Ordinance has applications go to the Zoning Officer to "Construct or alter a structure" and says "A permit is not required for ordinary repair of structures," with exceptions that do not name roof work. The Borough's 2025 residential UCC fee schedule from Code Administrators, Inc. and its Building/Zoning Fee Schedule price "Additions/Alterations" generally and have no roofing line, and the residential building permit application's work-type boxes are "New Building Addition Alteration Repair Demolition Relocation" with no roofing box. No Borough page read names reroofing as permit work or as exempt. 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 Borough's permit rules are the State's own, and the older Borough Building Code it keeps was not read, so this record does not decide whether the Borough requires a permit for an ordinary reroof. 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, The Borough of Lititz administers the code, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections: Section 36-4 of the Borough Code has Borough Council appoint a Building Code Official, who receives "uniform construction code permit applications," and a Construction Code Official, who "may be a third party agency"; the Borough's Code Inspections page names Code Administrators, Inc., and the Borough's residential building permit application is headed by both "CODE ADMINISTRATORS, INC." and "BOROUGH OF LITITZ," with the Borough's 7 S Broad Street address. No Borough text read sets an area, percentage 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, The Borough of Lititz administers the code, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections: Section 36-4 of the Borough Code has Borough Council appoint a Building Code Official, who receives "uniform construction code permit applications," and a Construction Code Official, who "may be a third party agency"; the Borough's Code Inspections page names Code Administrators, Inc., and the Borough's residential building permit application is headed by both "CODE ADMINISTRATORS, INC." and "BOROUGH OF LITITZ," with the Borough's 7 S Broad Street address. Chapter 36 of the Borough Code changes nothing in the code's reroofing provisions, and the Borough's pages say nothing on roof layers; the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998, which Chapter 36 incorporates, was not read. Section 36-3C adopts the "2006 International Residential Code" among the Borough's official codes and says "To the extent that these Code(s) are updated or amended in the future, the Borough hereby automatically adopts the updated version(s)," and the Borough's pages name no code edition; the text above is the 2021 edition's, the 2006 edition's reroofing text was not read for this record, and this record does not decide which edition the Borough applies.
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, The Borough of Lititz administers the code, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections: Section 36-4 of the Borough Code has Borough Council appoint a Building Code Official, who receives "uniform construction code permit applications," and a Construction Code Official, who "may be a third party agency"; the Borough's Code Inspections page names Code Administrators, Inc., and the Borough's residential building permit application is headed by both "CODE ADMINISTRATORS, INC." and "BOROUGH OF LITITZ," with the Borough's 7 S Broad Street address. Chapter 36 of the Borough Code changes nothing in the code's roof sheathing provisions, and the Borough's pages draw no separate line for roof sheathing; the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998, which Chapter 36 incorporates, was not read. Section 36-3C adopts the "2006 International Residential Code" among the Borough's official codes and says "To the extent that these Code(s) are updated or amended in the future, the Borough hereby automatically adopts the updated version(s)," and the Borough's pages name no code edition; the text above is the 2021 edition's, the 2006 edition's sheathing text was not read for this record, and this record does not decide which edition the Borough applies.
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. The Borough of Lititz is in Lancaster County. The Borough's permit pages and fee schedules say nothing on sales tax.

Roofing questions: Borough of Lititz, PA

When does a roof repair need a permit in Borough of Lititz, PA?

No Borough of Lititz text read names reroofing as permit work or as exempt. Chapter 36 of the Borough Code, the Borough's Uniform Construction Code ordinance (Ord. No. C-481, December 27, 2006, as amended), names no roof work either way. For permits it "adopts and incorporates Sections 403.41, 403.42, 403.42a, 403.43, 403.44, 403.47, 403.48, 403.61, 403.62, 403.62a, 403.63 and 403.66 of the Labor and Industry Regulations," which are the State's own permit rules, with added text on responsibility for obtaining permits and posting them. Section 36-3 also amends 34 Pa. Code 403.21(c) "to incorporate the provisions of the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998"; that older Borough Building Code is not published with the Code and was not read. Separately, Section 701 of the Borough's Zoning Ordinance has applications go to the Zoning Officer to "Construct or alter a structure" and says "A permit is not required for ordinary repair of structures," with exceptions that do not name roof work. The Borough's 2025 residential UCC fee schedule from Code Administrators, Inc. and its Building/Zoning Fee Schedule price "Additions/Alterations" generally and have no roofing line, and the residential building permit application's work-type boxes are "New Building Addition Alteration Repair Demolition Relocation" with no roofing box. No Borough page read names reroofing as permit work or as exempt. 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 Borough's permit rules are the State's own, and the older Borough Building Code it keeps was not read, so this record does not decide whether the Borough requires a permit for an ordinary reroof. 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, The Borough of Lititz administers the code, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections: Section 36-4 of the Borough Code has Borough Council appoint a Building Code Official, who receives "uniform construction code permit applications," and a Construction Code Official, who "may be a third party agency"; the Borough's Code Inspections page names Code Administrators, Inc., and the Borough's residential building permit application is headed by both "CODE ADMINISTRATORS, INC." and "BOROUGH OF LITITZ," with the Borough's 7 S Broad Street address. No Borough text read sets an area, percentage or cost threshold for roof work.

Can you roof over an existing roof in Borough of Lititz, PA?

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, The Borough of Lititz administers the code, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections: Section 36-4 of the Borough Code has Borough Council appoint a Building Code Official, who receives "uniform construction code permit applications," and a Construction Code Official, who "may be a third party agency"; the Borough's Code Inspections page names Code Administrators, Inc., and the Borough's residential building permit application is headed by both "CODE ADMINISTRATORS, INC." and "BOROUGH OF LITITZ," with the Borough's 7 S Broad Street address. Chapter 36 of the Borough Code changes nothing in the code's reroofing provisions, and the Borough's pages say nothing on roof layers; the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998, which Chapter 36 incorporates, was not read. Section 36-3C adopts the "2006 International Residential Code" among the Borough's official codes and says "To the extent that these Code(s) are updated or amended in the future, the Borough hereby automatically adopts the updated version(s)," and the Borough's pages name no code edition; the text above is the 2021 edition's, the 2006 edition's reroofing text was not read for this record, and this record does not decide which edition the Borough applies.

Do roofing contractors need a license or registration in Borough of Lititz, PA?

Yes.

What building code does Borough of Lititz, 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. Locally, The Borough of Lititz administers the code, with Code Administrators, Inc. doing plan review and inspections: Section 36-4 of the Borough Code has Borough Council appoint a Building Code Official, who receives "uniform construction code permit applications," and a Construction Code Official, who "may be a third party agency"; the Borough's Code Inspections page names Code Administrators, Inc., and the Borough's residential building permit application is headed by both "CODE ADMINISTRATORS, INC." and "BOROUGH OF LITITZ," with the Borough's 7 S Broad Street address. Section 36-3 adopts the standards the Department of Labor and Industry has made part of the Uniform Construction Code as the Borough of Lititz Construction Code, and Section 36-4B fills in Table R301.2(1), including "Ice shield underlayment required: yes"; Chapter 36 changes nothing in the code's roofing provisions. It also incorporates "the provisions of the Borough Building Code in existence as of May 11, 1998," which is not published with the Code and was not read. Section 36-3C adopts the "2006 International Residential Code" among the Borough's official codes and says "To the extent that these Code(s) are updated or amended in the future, the Borough hereby automatically adopts the updated version(s)," and the Borough's pages name no code edition; this record has not read the 2006 edition's text and does not decide which edition the Borough applies.
