Uniform
Construction Code
On May 11, 2004 York Township via Ordinance 2004-7 adopted the
Uniform Construction Code, establishing the administration and enforcement
of the code, a Board of Appeals and fees assessable by York Township
was approved as required by the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act
of 1999
The new statewide building code entitled the Uniform Construction
Code applies to the construction, alteration, repair, movement,
equipment, removal, demolition, location, maintenance, occupancy
or change of occupancy of every building or structure which occurs
on or after May 11, 2004 and all existing structures that are not
legally occupied. BUILDING PERMIT REQUIRED FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
Applications for a building permit must include a site plan, construction
drawings and specifications, floor plan, elevations, wall sections
and details, etc. The Code Enforcement Official has 15
business days to review a residential building permit and 30 business
days for a commercial building permit. Even if a building permit
is not required, a ZONING PERMIT MAY BE REQUIRED.
Applications for a zoning permit must include the location and dimensions
of the lot, abutting streets with names and widths, structures,
yards and setbacks with locations, dimensions and uses of existing
and proposed structures on the lot. The Zoning Officer has 10 days
to issue the permit, unless approval of a Special
Exception or Variance is required from the Zoning Hearing Board.
The York Township Zoning staff and Code Enforcement officials are
available Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. to answer
questions or sit down with residents/ contractors to review plans
