Uniform Construction Code

The YCBA is devoted to keeping members informed and current regarding changes to the Uniform Construction Code (UCC). Since the adoption of a state-wide building code, the way homes are designed, built, and inspected has radically changed. The UCC Coalition was formed to keep an open line of communication between our builder members and municipal officials. The coalition offers information sharing, troubleshooting, conflict resolution, and suggestions on how to improve the process for the betterment of the home building industry. The UCC Coalition meets on the second Thursday of even months at 8 a.m. Visit the Calendar of Events for more details on upcoming meetings.

For more information on the state's building code, visit the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

The YCBA Experience Form is a tool for use by builders and municipal officials. If you have an "experience" related to the UCC, whether good or bad, simply complete the Experience Form and submit it to the YCBA. The UCC committee will review the submitted experience forms and take action if warranted.

The YCBA UCC Coalition has developed a Uniform Building/Zoning Permit Application. This application was the product of UCC Coalition meetings and was developed with input from municipal officials and builders. The goal of the uniform application is to alleviate administrative burden on the municipality and to provide builders a consistent, easy-to-use form. We encourage all municipalities to review the Uniform Building Zoning Permit Application and consider adopting it.
