Notes
In Pennsylvania, some building and permitting enforcement is handled at the municipal level (township or borough) rather than directly by the county. Potter County publishes a township and borough directory that includes a building code inspector listing. Planning and GIS resources are organized under the county GIS, Planning, and Community Development department.
