Zoning, Building, and Rental Permits

Penns Valley Code is responsible for administering regulations within the Borough:

  • Zoning Permits are required prior to excavation and construction of any structure larger than 25 square feet with a valuation of over $1,000.  In the Floodplain District, permits are required for all structures, regardless of the project valuation.
  • Building Permits are required for any accessory structure larger than 1,000 square feet. Permits are generally required for adding an attached deck, porch, or other structure to a dwelling.  Two sets of construction plans are required with the permit application.
  • Rental Permits are required for every residential and commercial rental property.  The permit is valid for two years on residential rentals and one year for commercial rentals.
