Bill > HB859

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to further provide for municipal permit denial. Specifically, it allows municipalities to deny permits to applicants who own real property with delinquent taxes, water/sewer/refuse charges, or unabated serious code violations, even if the property is owned by a corporation or limited liability corporation. The bill also requires applicants to disclose any such delinquencies, with a failure to do so resulting in a $1,000 fine payable to the municipality. The bill aims to address issues of neighborhood blight and revitalization in Pennsylvania.
