No, Greenfield Township (Blair County), PA does not require a permit for like-for-like roof replacement (Greenfield Township (Blair County) - Building Permits). Greenfield Township's Building Permits – Overview page says "If you are replacing your roof shingles with shingles, no permit is required." The Township's Building Permits – Overview page says "a building permit is needed anytime you make improvements or alternations to your property" and "The only exceptions are minor changes," and "If you are replacing your roof shingles with shingles, no permit is required. Replacing the shingles with a metal roof or a metal roof with a shingled roof does require a permit." Its Township Building Permits page lists "change shingled roof to a metal roof" and "change metal roof to a shingled roof" among projects that need a township building permit, at a $40.00 township fee. The PMCA Residential Re-Roof packet the Township posts says in its heading "A Building Permit is required if there is a structural repair or changing roof material". The Township's Uniform Construction Code ordinance (Ordinance No. 04-05, effective July 8, 2004, read from its scanned pages) adopts the Uniform Construction Code "as amended from time to time" and adds no permit clause naming roof work; its Section C says construction exempt from the Uniform Construction Code "must be reported by the owner, contractor and/or builder to Greenfield Township prior to the commencement of the construction," a notice that names no permit. The Township's Building Permit Ordinance No. 82-01, a building permit and flood-area ordinance kept in force by the 2004 ordinance's savings clause for pre-1999 building code ordinances that equal or exceed the code, says "A Building Permit shall not be required for minor repairs to existing buildings or structures" and does not name roofing. 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." Read for this answer: the Township's Uniform Construction Code Ordinance No. 04-05 in full and Building Permit Ordinance No. 82-01, Articles I and II (its permit requirement and exemption; the later floodplain articles of its 33 scanned pages were not transcribed), both from the Township's Ordinances page, which lists no amending ordinance for either; the Township's Building Permits – Overview, Township Building Permits, Building a New Home and Building Permits documents pages; the Township's building permit and land use permit applications; PMCA's Residential Re-Roof packet and application, whose improvement types are "New Addition Alteration Repair/Replacement Relocation"; and PMCA's 2021 fee schedule posted by the Township, which has commercial, electrical and property-maintenance pages and no roofing line. Where a permit is needed, PMCA's re-roof packet asks for two signed copies of its application with "a descriptive narrative which must indicate existing and proposed materials" and a Land Use Permit signed by the Township, and the Township's page says the permit placard must be posted before the project starts.
