Philadelphia is a consolidated city-county, meaning the municipal government handles all building permits, zoning, and inspections for the entire jurisdiction. There are no independent municipal permit authorities within the county borders. All development must comply with the Philadelphia Zoning Code and the city's specific building construction standards.
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.
