Adopted code

Borough of Waynesboro - Zoning-Code Enforcement Office

Waynesboro Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, at Borough Hall, 55 East Main Street, issues land use permits, and building permits are issued by the Borough's third-party agencies, PA Municipal Code Alliance and Commonwealth Code Inspection Services; the Borough's amending ordinances on residential repairs are not published, so this record does not say whether a house reroof needs a permit. 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
This record does not say whether a house reroof in Waynesboro Borough needs a permit. The Department of Labor and Industry's register of municipal code change ordinances lists a Waynesboro Borough filing that "Requires building permits for certain residential alterations and repairs and provides exceptions," found in compliance with an approval letter mailed July 13, 2010, "Enacted 8 / 18 / 10." The Borough Code's disposition list shows Ord. No. 1096 and Ord. No. 1176 (October 30, 2019) as "Uniform Construction Codes" amendments, and the Borough's land use application refers to "the Uniform Construction Code and Borough Ord. No. 1176" for work that does not need a construction code permit, but Chapter 123 as published contains neither amendment's text, and neither ordinance is posted on the Borough's site; this record has not read them, so it cannot say which residential repairs or alterations they reach or which they exempt. The Borough's "Do I Need a Zoning/Land Use Permit?" sheet lists "Replacing roofing" among projects that "do not need a zoning permit" and adds that "many of the projects listed above may require a building permit in accordance with the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code"; it does not say whether a reroof needs a building permit. Under state law, Act 45 says the Act "shall not apply to" "Alterations to residential buildings which do not make structural changes or changes to means of egress, except as might be required by ordinances in effect pursuant to section 303(b)(1) or adopted pursuant to section 503" or to "Repairs to residential buildings, except as might be required by ordinances in effect pursuant to section 303(b)(1) or adopted pursuant to section 503" (section 104(b)(5) and (6)), 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". Before a reroof, ask the Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, which is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at 717-762-2101, or one of the two agencies. The Borough's land use application says "Application for building permits WILL NOT be accepted without a Land Use-Zoning Application issued by the Borough of Waynesboro." Read for this answer: Chapter 123 of the Borough Code, Construction Codes, Uniform (Sections 123-1 to 123-7), in full; the Borough Code's disposition list; every page of a search of the whole Borough Code for "roof" and for "reroofing"; the Zoning & Codes page; the "Do I Need a Zoning/Land Use Permit?" sheet; the Zoning/Land Use Permit Application (Form ZCE-001); and the 2026 fee resolution (Resolution 2026-07), which prices land use permits and has no building permit or roofing line.
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, Waynesboro Borough administers the code through third-party agencies: Section 123-1 of the Borough Code says the Borough "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 123-3 lets it retain "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies," and the Borough's Zoning & Codes page says "Building permits are issued by PA Municipal Code Alliance located at 380 Wayne Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-496-4996) or Commonwealth Code Inspection Services located at 1102 Sheller Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-264-9191)." The Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, at Borough Hall, 55 East Main Street, issues the land use permit or exemption that the page says "WILL BE REQUIRED in order to obtain a building permit." Section 123-2 adopts the Uniform Construction Code, "as amended from time to time," as the Municipal Building Code of the Borough of Waynesboro, and Chapter 123 as published changes nothing in the code's roofing provisions and names no edition. Section 123-5A keeps in force building code ordinances adopted on or before July 1, 1999 that equal or exceed the code; none is published with the chapter. The Department of Labor and Industry's register of municipal code change ordinances lists a Waynesboro Borough filing that "Requires building permits for certain residential alterations and repairs and provides exceptions," found in compliance with an approval letter mailed July 13, 2010, "Enacted 8 / 18 / 10." The Borough Code's disposition list shows Ord. No. 1096 and Ord. No. 1176 (October 30, 2019) as "Uniform Construction Codes" amendments, and the Borough's land use application refers to "the Uniform Construction Code and Borough Ord. No. 1176" for work that does not need a construction code permit, but Chapter 123 as published contains neither amendment's text, and neither ordinance is posted on the Borough's site; this record has not read them, so it cannot say which residential repairs or alterations they reach or which they exempt.
Repair permit threshold
Waynesboro Borough has an enacted ordinance on permits for residential repairs and alterations that this record could not read. The Department of Labor and Industry's register of municipal code change ordinances lists a Waynesboro Borough filing that "Requires building permits for certain residential alterations and repairs and provides exceptions," found in compliance with an approval letter mailed July 13, 2010, "Enacted 8 / 18 / 10." The Borough Code's disposition list shows Ord. No. 1096 and Ord. No. 1176 (October 30, 2019) as "Uniform Construction Codes" amendments, and the Borough's land use application refers to "the Uniform Construction Code and Borough Ord. No. 1176" for work that does not need a construction code permit, but Chapter 123 as published contains neither amendment's text, and neither ordinance is posted on the Borough's site; this record has not read them, so it cannot say which residential repairs or alterations they reach or which they exempt. The Borough's "Do I Need a Zoning/Land Use Permit?" sheet lists "Replacing roofing" among projects that "do not need a zoning permit" and adds that "many of the projects listed above may require a building permit in accordance with the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code"; it does not say whether a reroof needs a building permit. 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, Waynesboro Borough administers the code through third-party agencies: Section 123-1 of the Borough Code says the Borough "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 123-3 lets it retain "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies," and the Borough's Zoning & Codes page says "Building permits are issued by PA Municipal Code Alliance located at 380 Wayne Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-496-4996) or Commonwealth Code Inspection Services located at 1102 Sheller Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-264-9191)." The Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, at Borough Hall, 55 East Main Street, issues the land use permit or exemption that the page says "WILL BE REQUIRED in order to obtain a building permit." No threshold for roof work was found in the published Borough Code or on the Borough's pages; the amending ordinances that would state one were not read.
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, Waynesboro Borough administers the code through third-party agencies: Section 123-1 of the Borough Code says the Borough "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 123-3 lets it retain "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies," and the Borough's Zoning & Codes page says "Building permits are issued by PA Municipal Code Alliance located at 380 Wayne Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-496-4996) or Commonwealth Code Inspection Services located at 1102 Sheller Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-264-9191)." The Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, at Borough Hall, 55 East Main Street, issues the land use permit or exemption that the page says "WILL BE REQUIRED in order to obtain a building permit." Chapter 123 of the Borough Code as published changes nothing in the code's reroofing provisions, and the Borough's pages say nothing on roof layers; the Borough's unpublished amending ordinances were not read.
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, Waynesboro Borough administers the code through third-party agencies: Section 123-1 of the Borough Code says the Borough "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 123-3 lets it retain "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies," and the Borough's Zoning & Codes page says "Building permits are issued by PA Municipal Code Alliance located at 380 Wayne Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-496-4996) or Commonwealth Code Inspection Services located at 1102 Sheller Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-264-9191)." The Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, at Borough Hall, 55 East Main Street, issues the land use permit or exemption that the page says "WILL BE REQUIRED in order to obtain a building permit." Chapter 123 of the Borough Code as published changes nothing in the code's roof sheathing provisions, and the Borough's pages draw no separate line for roof sheathing; the Borough's unpublished amending ordinances were not read.
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. Waynesboro Borough is in Franklin County. The Borough's permit pages and 2026 fee resolution say nothing on sales tax.

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

Waynesboro Borough has an enacted ordinance on permits for residential repairs and alterations that this record could not read. The Department of Labor and Industry's register of municipal code change ordinances lists a Waynesboro Borough filing that "Requires building permits for certain residential alterations and repairs and provides exceptions," found in compliance with an approval letter mailed July 13, 2010, "Enacted 8 / 18 / 10." The Borough Code's disposition list shows Ord. No. 1096 and Ord. No. 1176 (October 30, 2019) as "Uniform Construction Codes" amendments, and the Borough's land use application refers to "the Uniform Construction Code and Borough Ord. No. 1176" for work that does not need a construction code permit, but Chapter 123 as published contains neither amendment's text, and neither ordinance is posted on the Borough's site; this record has not read them, so it cannot say which residential repairs or alterations they reach or which they exempt.

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.

Can you roof over an existing roof in Borough of Waynesboro, 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.

The Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, at Borough Hall, 55 East Main Street, issues the land use permit or exemption that the page says "WILL BE REQUIRED in order to obtain a building permit."

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

Yes.

What building code does Borough of Waynesboro, 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, Waynesboro Borough administers the code through third-party agencies: Section 123-1 of the Borough Code says the Borough "hereby elects to administer and enforce the provisions of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act," Section 123-3 lets it retain "one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies," and the Borough's Zoning & Codes page says "Building permits are issued by PA Municipal Code Alliance located at 380 Wayne Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-496-4996) or Commonwealth Code Inspection Services located at 1102 Sheller Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201 (Phone: 717-264-9191)." The Borough's Zoning-Code Enforcement Office, at Borough Hall, 55 East Main Street, issues the land use permit or exemption that the page says "WILL BE REQUIRED in order to obtain a building permit." Section 123-2 adopts the Uniform Construction Code, "as amended from time to time," as the Municipal Building Code of the Borough of Waynesboro, and Chapter 123 as published changes nothing in the code's roofing provisions and names no edition. Section 123-5A keeps in force building code ordinances adopted on or before July 1, 1999 that equal or exceed the code; none is published with the chapter. The Department of Labor and Industry's register of municipal code change ordinances lists a Waynesboro Borough filing that "Requires building permits for certain residential alterations and repairs and provides exceptions," found in compliance with an approval letter mailed July 13, 2010, "Enacted 8 / 18 / 10." The Borough Code's disposition list shows Ord. No. 1096 and Ord. No. 1176 (October 30, 2019) as "Uniform Construction Codes" amendments, and the Borough's land use application refers to "the Uniform Construction Code and Borough Ord. No. 1176" for work that does not need a construction code permit, but Chapter 123 as published contains neither amendment's text, and neither ordinance is posted on the Borough's site; this record has not read them, so it cannot say which residential repairs or alterations they reach or which they exempt.
