In order to develop and maintain the e-Library, each County Planning Offices/Departments have provided the most current information and documents on record in their office/department. The information presented herein should be used for informational purposes only and should not be used to make decisions. Users of this database should contact the individual county and/or municipality prior to making any decisions and/or if they have any questions regarding the information or documents. Contact information for each county and municipality is available on the site.

The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act of 1968, P.L. 805, No. 247 as reenacted and amended states the following:

Section 608. Enactment of Zoning Ordinance.
"...Within 30 days after enactment, a copy of the zoning ordinance shall be forwarded to the county planning agency or, in counties where no planning agency exists, to the governing body of the county in which the municipality is located."

Section 609. Enactment of Zoning Ordinance Amendments.
"(g) Within 30 days after enactment, a copy of the amendment to the zoning ordinance shall be forwarded to the county planning agency or, in counties where no planning agency exists, to the governing body of the county in which the municipality is located."

Section 306. Municipal and County Comprehensive Plans.
"(b) Within 30 days after adoption, the governing body of a municipality, other than a county, shall forward a certified copy of the comprehensive plan, or part thereof or amendment thereto, to the county planning agency or, in counties where no planning agency exists, to the governing body of the county in which the municipality is located."

The e-Library will also contains information regarding municipal floodplain ordinances. This information will be provided by the Center. The Center is currently working on this portion of the e-Library and as the ordinances are converted into electronic format, they will be made available through this site and will include the accurate status of the documents (if a community has a floodplain ordinance) and the adoption dates and amendment dates.

Since land-use related documents are amended, revised, changed, and adopted on a regular basis, the information on the e-Library will always be changing. The Center and its partners will always be providing new and revised information and documents to the e-Library.

The e-Library does not contain all of the available land-use documents. The Center will continue to work with its partners to provide access to the municipal, county and state land-use related documents.
