A practical starting point

Planning your Pennsylvania project

Check the municipality’s UCC administration

Pennsylvania publishes a municipal UCC directory organized by county. The entries identify each municipality’s enforcement election and available building-code contact information. This is more specific than choosing an office from the county name alone.

Use the exact municipality and building type when confirming where plans should be reviewed. Include the current local application instructions and any written comments in the engineering request.
