Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
N/A countywide; Pennsylvania UCC generally requires a code official to grant or deny a complete permit application within 30 business days, while local review and county SALDO review timing varies.
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.
Application documents
Before submission, call Greene County Planning and Community Development: 724-852-5300; Assessment Office: 724-852-5211; local UCC agency varies if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.
Project questions
This record is marked Municipal Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel before filing.
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact Greene County Planning and Community Development: 724-852-5300; Assessment Office: 724-852-5211; local UCC agency varies.

Contact the local township, borough, or certified third-party UCC agency where the work is located to file the building permit and schedule inspections. Separately, Greene County Ordinance 2022-2 requires a county Assessment Office Building/Demo Application for any improvement or demolition, regardless of whether the municipality requires a building permit. County planning questions: 724-852-5300.
Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC), 34 Pa. Code Chapters 401-405 and referenced current ICC codes as adopted by Pennsylvania, including applicable 2021 ICC editions for 2026 permits. Greene County's 2025 hazard-plan search result states all 26 municipalities opted into local UCC enforcement. The county Planning Commission enforces or reviews the county SALDO for subdivision and land development, but does not replace local building-code permitting. The county SALDO excludes certain land-development categories, including a single- or two-family dwelling on a lot of record, conversion of a single/two-family dwelling to no more than three units unless condominium, and subordinate accessory structures such as residential garages or sheds generally under 625 square feet; these are land-development exclusions, not blanket building-code exemptions. Pennsylvania UCC emergency-repair and other minor-work exemptions, plus zoning, floodplain, sewage, and occupancy rules, must be confirmed with the local municipality or BCO.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
