Do I need planning permission to build a treehouse?

Do I need planning permission to build a treehouse? What can you build without a permit in PA? The first step is to call your township and ask if a permit is necessary. In the hundreds of townships we have called, some of them never require permits for kids tree houses, while some always do. But the vast majority of townships answer that it depends. They may have a list of questions like, “Is the tree house over 100 square feet in floor space,” “Is any part of the tree house more than 15′ high,” “is the tree house less than 20′ from your property line” “Does the tree house have electricity,” etc… Be prepared to either adjust your plans to keep them within the non-permit limits or to follow through with submitting plans, paying fees, and getting official approval to build your tree house. #ForSale #AlbrightsvillePA #JimThorpeAreaSD #CarbonCounty #LehighValley #RealEstate #GLVR #BHGRE #monroecounty #LehighValley #pocono #landforsale #lands #investmentproperty #vacantland

Thinking About Buying Land in PA? Quick Facts for First-Timers!

Image
Hey future PA landowner! Excited? Here's a quick rundown of common questions: Finding Your Land: Drive By: Check it out yourself using the map in the listing (most PA land lacks street numbers). Neighboring addresses help! Need Help? A buyer's agent can show you the property and assist with paperwork (title, etc.). Read the Listing! It often includes info on HOAs and prior soil/perc tests. Key Questions: Buildable? Soil and perc tests are essential. No prior test info in the listing means it's unknown.

Public sewer = no perc test. Mobile Homes/RVs? Check local township zoning and HOA rules (if any). They decide what's allowed. Making an Offer & Closing: Submit an official offer through your agent. If accepted, expect the title transfer in 20-30 days. Important Note: Land b...
