Waynesboro Borough

The borough states most projects require two permits, a zoning or land use permit and a building permit; construction drawings and a property sketch must be submitted for plan review before a zoning or land use permit is issued

Building code

Pennsylvania UCC; Waynesboro is listed by the Commonwealth as an opt in municipality, and the borough page says building permits are issued by PMCA or CCIS

Permit validity

No borough specific expiration rule was clearly posted; UCC permits follow Pennsylvania default timing

Owner-builder

Applications may be made by the owner, an agent of the owner, or a registered design professional employed in connection with the proposed work

Contractor requirements

Pennsylvania HICPA registration applies where required

   Start with the borough Zoning-Code Enforcement Office and determine whether the project needs a zoning or land use permit or exemption.

   Submit the borough zoning or land use application with construction drawings and a sketch of the property showing dimensions and proposed improvements.
