Newer Lower Macungie homes have good bones but builder-grade kitchens and baths begging for stone, real cabinetry and an island that works. The upgrades here are about elevation, not repair.

Lower Macungie permits
Lower Macungie bathroom remodeling permits — what to expect.
- Permit office
- Lower Macungie Township Permit Department
- 3400 Brookside Rd, Macungie, PA 18062
- (610) 966-4343
- Permit fees (residential alterations)
- Structural alterations, restorations, changes of egress and additions are $0.45 per square foot of gross floor area with a $400 minimum — and that one fee covers plan review plus the building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing inspections (up to seven). Work that is not structural is permitted trade by trade instead: electrical minor alterations of 6–25 outlets $200, plumbing $170 for the first six new or replacement fixtures then $10 each. Minimum job fees are $125 building, $100 electrical, $80 plumbing; a re-inspection is $80. Starting work before the permit is issued doubles the fee.
- A 200 sq ft kitchen that takes out a wall: 200 × $0.45 = $90, so the $400 minimum applies — and that single fee carries plan review and every trade inspection. The same kitchen with no structural work is permitted by trade instead, about $200 electrical plus $170 plumbing for the first six fixtures.
- Read from the official Lower Macungie schedule on September 9, 2026. Residential figures; commercial work is charged differently. Fees change — confirm before you budget.
- Permit review window
- Pennsylvania sets the ceiling, not the township: under the Uniform Construction Code a building code official must grant or deny a residential permit application within 15 business days of the filing date, or the application is deemed approved (34 Pa. Code § 403.63(a)). That drops to 5 business days where the drawings were prepared and certified by a Pennsylvania-licensed design professional, and only a written agreement with the applicant can extend it. Lower Macungie publishes no review standard of its own, but its schedule does require 48 hours' notice to book an inspection once the permit is issued.
Most Lower Macungie bathroom remodels involving plumbing, electrical or structural changes require a building permit. VM Power Kitchen & Bath pulls permits, schedules inspections and coordinates compliance as part of every design-build contract — you don't navigate the office alone.
