Do I need a permit to do work on my own property?

Yes. If a property owner is making any structural changes, such as flooring, changing kitchen cabinets, putting up drywall, repairing the roof, making major repairs to property, such additions, alterations, changing doors, etc. requires a permit.

We recommend the owner to call the Codes Bureau at 717.255.6553 to assess his or her need for a building permit and appropriate fees.
