  • Code Enforcement Legislation

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    On November 10, 2022, the City submitted four pieces of related code enforcement legislation aimed at reducing regulatory burden while improving housing quality and code compliance. The legislation package includes Permits Reform (repealing 20 obsolete permit requirements that collected only $150 in 2022 fees while permanently extending the peddler's license fee reduction), Contractor Licensing Reform (simplifying contractor license requirements such as reducing reference letter requirements), Inspection Fee Reform (reducing inspection fees by 45%), and Rental Regulation Reform (establishing regular inspections of rental properties and strengthening enforcement mechanisms). The permits and fee changes are projected to increase net revenue collections by $22,800, from $18,550 in 2022 to $41,500 in 2023, while the legislation aims to cut red tape for contractors, businesses, homeowners, and residents.
