Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Eddystone, PA, issued by Eddystone Borough - Code and Permits. Eddystone Borough's building code names roofing in its permit fee clause. Section 112.3 of the Borough's amended building code, set out in Section 85-2 of the Borough Code, says "The following building permit fees shall be paid to the Borough of Eddystone upon filing of an application and shall apply to construction, renovation, demolition, moving of buildings, roofing, sand blasting, water blasting with sand and/or chemicals, air conditioning and swimming pools," and Section 112.3.1 sets "Residential: New construction, alterations, additions and repairs: $20 per $1,000 of cost or fraction thereof." (read Oct 12, 2026). Section 100-5 of the Borough Code says building code ordinances adopted on or before July 1, 1999 "which equal or exceed the requirements of the code shall continue in full force and effect until such time as such provisions fail to equal or exceed the minimum requirements of the code"; this record does not decide whether Section 112.3 is one of them. The Borough's page says "Residential Permits – there is a $50 application fee which must be submitted with the application." 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 of a municipal ordinance that adds to the code, section 503(c) says "An ordinance under this subsection shall not be effective nor enforceable unless subsections (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) have been satisfied." This record does not decide whether the municipality's requirement is one adopted under section 503 or kept in effect by section 303(b)(1). Because the Borough's enacted building permit fee clause names roofing, a reroof without a permit risks whatever the Borough Code imposes; the Borough's Section 112.3.5 says "Work started prior to obtaining permit: Where work for which a permit is required by this article is started prior to obtaining the required permit, the fees set forth herein for such permit shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of this article in the execution of the work or from any other penalties prescribed herein."
