Permitting is highly decentralized, with the City of Erie and other boroughs managing their own building departments and zoning ordinances. The Erie County Department of Planning provides oversight for subdivision and land development reviews in municipalities that have not adopted their own ordinances. Floodplain management is strictly enforced in coastal areas along Lake Erie and near major tributaries.
The county enforces specific Lake Erie coastal zone management regulations that may require additional environmental review for construction projects within the designated coastal boundary.
Cómo encaja con el estado
La autoridad estatal aquí es Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General; local building departments. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
