# Pennsylvania - Canonical: https://harth.build/resources/building-codes/us-states/pennsylvania/ ## Direct answer and reference scope Pennsylvania is presented here as a reference within the the listed code collection collection for Pennsylvania. Use the [Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry](https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dli/programs-services/labor-management-relations/bureau-of-occupational-and-industrial-safety/uniform-construction-code-home) to confirm the code edition currently adopted for the project, and compare the model text with state amendments, local amendments, effective dates and the permit authority's interpretation. The [ICC code library](https://codes.iccsafe.org/codes) is the model-code publication path. This Harth page is a searchable reference transcription, not an official code publication, legal opinion or confirmation that this edition controls a particular address. Record the project jurisdiction, application date, occupancy, construction type and amendment set before relying on a section. Where this page conflicts with an official publication or the authority having jurisdiction, the official source controls. _Authored and prepared by Harth. Review scope: official verification path added; code text and current local applicability have not been independently reviewed._ Pennsylvania regulates construction through the statewide Uniform Construction Code (UCC), administered by the Department of Labor & Industry. The UCC adopts editions of the International Building Code by reference; the editions below reflect codes adopted into law in the Commonwealth. --- - Continue in Harth (open this topic in the Harth agent): https://app.harth.build/?context=%2Fresources%2Fbuilding-codes%2Fus-states%2Fpennsylvania%2F - View this page in a browser: https://harth.build/resources/building-codes/us-states/pennsylvania/ - All resources for agents: https://harth.build/llms.txt
