Permitting is highly decentralized, with individual boroughs and townships managing their own building codes and zoning enforcement. The county planning department primarily handles subdivision and land development reviews, while local municipal offices retain jurisdiction over building permits and inspections.
The county enforces specific stormwater management requirements under the Lackawanna River Watershed Act that may require additional permits for land disturbance activities.

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.
