Permit process note
Nottingham Township's own pages name no residential reroof as permit work or as exempt. Its Forms and Fees page posts a one-page list headed "PERMIT ARE REQUIRED FOR" (read October 10, 2026) whose "Residential construction" list begins "Building permit approval is required prior to the construction of the following:" and runs from new homes through "Deck roof, Porch roof" and "Remodeling or alteration of the structure, which involves changing structural or supporting members"; it names no house roof covering. Its "Commercial construction" list includes "Roof – any work to an existing roof other than ordinary repairs," and its list of work that does not need a permit includes "Residential window replacement without structural change" and names no roofing. Section 425-129(A) of the Township's zoning chapter (Article XVII, Certificates and Permits) requires "A building permit ... prior to the razing, erection, enlargement and structural alteration of any building, structure or portion thereof" and adds "A building permit is not necessary for exterior painting or the removal and replacement of lights or roofing shingles, siding, windows, doors, chimneys or entrances." That sentence sits in the zoning chapter and speaks to the zoning chapter's building permit, and this record does not decide whether it answers for the Uniform Construction Code permit the Township's building inspector issues. The Township's fee resolution (Exhibit A, building permits, as posted) lists a residential "Repairs & Alterations" line by cost of construction and names no roof work, and its posted building permit application lists "ALTERATION" and "RENOVATION" among its types of construction and has no roofing line. 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." Ask the Township office (724-348-5622) or the building inspector (724-263-0377) before starting. Read for this answer: Chapter 155, Construction, Article I, Uniform Construction Code (Sections 155-1 to 155-7), in full; Chapter 425, Zoning, Article XVII (Sections 425-129 to 425-133) and the zoning officer's duties in Section 425-136; every page of a search of the whole Township Code for "roof" (28 results, none other than Section 425-129 naming a permit) and for "reroofing" (none); the Township's Staff, UCC Board of Appeals, Ordinance Information and Forms and Fees pages; the permit list, permit checklist and building permit application the Township posts; the zoning certificate packet; and the Township's fee resolution.
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, Nottingham Township administers the code itself: Section 155-1 of its Code (Ord. No. 77, adopted June 7, 2004) says the Township "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 155-2 adopts the Uniform Construction Code "as the municipal building code of the municipality," and Section 155-3 lets the Board of Supervisors choose by resolution among an employee, "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies" and other arrangements. The Township's Staff page lists, under "BUILDING INSPECTOR & ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR," Municipal Consulting Services at 724-263-0377, its UCC Board of Appeals page says the Township "has elected to admininster and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," and the Township office is at 909 Sugar Run Road, Eighty Four (724-348-5622, "Office Hours: M-F 8AM - 4PM"). The Township's pages name no residential code edition; the building permit application it posts says the applicant agrees "all applicable provisions of the Township Codes, the Energy Conservation Act 222 of 1990 and the 2004 Uniform Construction Code shall be complied with," and Section 155-2 adopts the code "as amended from time to time." This record has not read any 2004 edition's text and does not decide which edition the Township applies.
Repair permit threshold
Nottingham Township's own pages name no residential reroof as permit work or as exempt. Its Forms and Fees page posts a one-page list headed "PERMIT ARE REQUIRED FOR" (read October 10, 2026) whose "Residential construction" list begins "Building permit approval is required prior to the construction of the following:" and runs from new homes through "Deck roof, Porch roof" and "Remodeling or alteration of the structure, which involves changing structural or supporting members"; it names no house roof covering. Its "Commercial construction" list includes "Roof – any work to an existing roof other than ordinary repairs," and its list of work that does not need a permit includes "Residential window replacement without structural change" and names no roofing. Section 425-129(A) of the Township's zoning chapter (Article XVII, Certificates and Permits) requires "A building permit ... prior to the razing, erection, enlargement and structural alteration of any building, structure or portion thereof" and adds "A building permit is not necessary for exterior painting or the removal and replacement of lights or roofing shingles, siding, windows, doors, chimneys or entrances." That sentence sits in the zoning chapter and speaks to the zoning chapter's building permit, and this record does not decide whether it answers for the Uniform Construction Code permit the Township's building inspector issues. The Township's fee resolution (Exhibit A, building permits, as posted) lists a residential "Repairs & Alterations" line by cost of construction and names no roof work, and its posted building permit application lists "ALTERATION" and "RENOVATION" among its types of construction and has no roofing line. 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, Nottingham Township administers the code itself: Section 155-1 of its Code (Ord. No. 77, adopted June 7, 2004) says the Township "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 155-2 adopts the Uniform Construction Code "as the municipal building code of the municipality," and Section 155-3 lets the Board of Supervisors choose by resolution among an employee, "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies" and other arrangements. The Township's Staff page lists, under "BUILDING INSPECTOR & ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR," Municipal Consulting Services at 724-263-0377, its UCC Board of Appeals page says the Township "has elected to admininster and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," and the Township office is at 909 Sugar Run Road, Eighty Four (724-348-5622, "Office Hours: M-F 8AM - 4PM"). 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, Nottingham Township administers the code itself: Section 155-1 of its Code (Ord. No. 77, adopted June 7, 2004) says the Township "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 155-2 adopts the Uniform Construction Code "as the municipal building code of the municipality," and Section 155-3 lets the Board of Supervisors choose by resolution among an employee, "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies" and other arrangements. The Township's Staff page lists, under "BUILDING INSPECTOR & ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR," Municipal Consulting Services at 724-263-0377, its UCC Board of Appeals page says the Township "has elected to admininster and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," and the Township office is at 909 Sugar Run Road, Eighty Four (724-348-5622, "Office Hours: M-F 8AM - 4PM"). The Township's code and pages, read as listed in the permit note, change nothing in the code's reroofing provisions and say nothing on roof layers.
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, Nottingham Township administers the code itself: Section 155-1 of its Code (Ord. No. 77, adopted June 7, 2004) says the Township "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 155-2 adopts the Uniform Construction Code "as the municipal building code of the municipality," and Section 155-3 lets the Board of Supervisors choose by resolution among an employee, "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies" and other arrangements. The Township's Staff page lists, under "BUILDING INSPECTOR & ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR," Municipal Consulting Services at 724-263-0377, its UCC Board of Appeals page says the Township "has elected to admininster and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," and the Township office is at 909 Sugar Run Road, Eighty Four (724-348-5622, "Office Hours: M-F 8AM - 4PM"). The Township's code and pages say nothing on 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. Nottingham Township is in Washington County. The Township's pages and fee resolution say nothing on sales tax.

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

Nottingham Township's own pages name no residential reroof as permit work or as exempt. Its Forms and Fees page posts a one-page list headed "PERMIT ARE REQUIRED FOR" (read October 10, 2026) whose "Residential construction" list begins "Building permit approval is required prior to the construction of the following:" and runs from new homes through "Deck roof, Porch roof" and "Remodeling or alteration of the structure, which involves changing structural or supporting members"; it names no house roof covering. Its "Commercial construction" list includes "Roof – any work to an existing roof other than ordinary repairs," and its list of work that does not need a permit includes "Residential window replacement without structural change" and names no roofing. Section 425-129(A) of the Township's zoning chapter (Article XVII, Certificates and Permits) requires "A building permit ... prior to the razing, erection, enlargement and structural alteration of any building, structure or portion thereof" and adds "A building permit is not necessary for exterior painting or the removal and replacement of lights or roofing shingles, siding, windows, doors, chimneys or entrances." That sentence sits in the zoning chapter and speaks to the zoning chapter's building permit, and this record does not decide whether it answers for the Uniform Construction Code permit the Township's building inspector issues. The Township's fee resolution (Exhibit A, building permits, as posted) lists a residential "Repairs & Alterations" line by cost of construction and names no roof work, and its posted building permit application lists "ALTERATION" and "RENOVATION" among its types of construction and has no roofing line. 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.

No Township text read for this record sets an area or cost threshold for roof work.

Can you roof over an existing roof in Township of Nottingham, 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, Nottingham Township administers the code itself: Section 155-1 of its Code (Ord. No. 77, adopted June 7, 2004) says the Township "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 155-2 adopts the Uniform Construction Code "as the municipal building code of the municipality," and Section 155-3 lets the Board of Supervisors choose by resolution among an employee, "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies" and other arrangements. The Township's Staff page lists, under "BUILDING INSPECTOR & ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR," Municipal Consulting Services at 724-263-0377, its UCC Board of Appeals page says the Township "has elected to admininster and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," and the Township office is at 909 Sugar Run Road, Eighty Four (724-348-5622, "Office Hours: M-F 8AM - 4PM"). The Township's code and pages, read as listed in the permit note, change nothing in the code's reroofing provisions and say nothing on roof layers.

Yes.

What building code does Township of Nottingham, 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).

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."
