An Act amending Title 68 (Real and Personal Property) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions regarding condominiums, further providing for applicability of local ordinances, regulations and building codes; in creation, alteration and termination of condominiums, further providing for creation of condominium; in general provisions regarding cooperatives, further providing for applicability of local ordinances, regulations and building codes; in creation, alteration and termination of cooperatives, further providing for creation of cooperative ownership; in general provisions regarding planned communities, further providing for applicability of local ordinances, regulations and building codes; and, in creation, alteration and termination of planned communities, further providing for creation of planned community.
This bill updates Pennsylvania laws governing condominiums, cooperatives, and planned communities to ensure local zoning and building codes apply to these property types just as they do to other developments. It requires developers to submit detailed reports to county planning agencies whenever they create or alter these communities, providing information on the number of units, land area, and essential infrastructure like water and sewer systems. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that local regulations cannot unfairly restrict cooperative ownership compared to other forms of property development, while also establishing a consistent reporting process for all three housing structures.
