Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Letterkenny Township, PA, issued by Letterkenny Township - Land Use and Building Permits. The permit a reroof needs here is Letterkenny Township's Land Use Permit, a local permit, not a Uniform Construction Code building permit: the Township's Resolution 2021-1, enacted January 4, 2021 and linked from its Permits page, amends "the following fees for issuing Land Use Permits" and lists "Roofing Material Replacement (No Structural Changes)" under "$35.00 Land Use Permits that Do Not Need Building Permits" (read Oct 12, 2026). For the Uniform Construction Code building permit, the same resolution says "Land Use Permits that Do Not Need Building Permits" for that item and lists "Roof new or with structural change" under "$70.00 - Land Use Permits that Require Building Permits (from CCIS)." The Permits page also says "A permit is not required for minor repairs to existing buildings provided that no structural changes or modifications are involved"; it names no roof work, and this record does not decide whether a reroof is a minor repair. The Township's Land Use Permit application says it is "to build, erect, or remodel a structure in Letterkenny Township" and "Application for a Building Permit will not be accepted until a Land Use Permit is issued by the Township." 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 Land Use Permit requirement is one adopted under section 503, kept in effect by section 303(b)(1), or made under the municipality's other powers. Because the Township's enacted fee resolution lists roofing material replacement as a Land Use Permit, a reroof without one risks whatever the Township imposes; the resolution states no penalty. The Land Use Permit is obtained at the township building during office hours.
