Lower Saucon housing
What Lower Saucon homes mean for your bathroom.
Lower Saucon has about 4,300 homes. Median year built: about 1979. 81% are detached singles, 18% were built since 2000, and 88% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.

- Median home value
Bathrooms from these decades are often compact, with a tub-and-shower combination and limited ventilation. Check the exhaust fan and the condition of the floor and walls before choosing finishes.
A typical bathroom remodel at our $15k–$35k planning range equals about 4%–9% of the median home value here. If resale matters to you, weigh your scope against that.
If your home was built before 1978, painted surfaces may contain lead. Ask how lead hazards will be assessed before any work disturbs paint, and read the EPA's homeowner guidance.

Lower Saucon permits
Lower Saucon bathroom remodeling permits — what to expect.
- Permit office
- Lower Saucon Township Building & Zoning
- 3943 Bayberry Rd, Coopersburg, PA 18036
- (610) 282-1171
- Permit fees (residential alterations)
- Lower Saucon bills a residential alteration off the contract rather than by the square foot: 1.00% of total construction cost, signed contract required, subject to the Building Code Official's review and approval, plus a 20% administrative fee on the building permit fee and on any re-inspection. Plan review is $0.06 per square foot with a $75 minimum and its own 20% administrative fee. Trades are separate: a plumbing alteration is $30 plus $10 per device, a mechanical alteration is $30 plus $25 for each $1,000 of construction cost, each with a $50 minimum permit fee, and an electrical minor alteration of up to 15 devices is $60. A re-inspection is $50 and the Commonwealth education fee is $4.50. The zoning permit is separate, with a $75 minimum — and failing to obtain one doubles it.
- A $45,000 kitchen: 1% of the contract is $450, plus the 20% administrative fee — $540. Plan review on 200 square feet works out to $12, so the $75 minimum applies, $90 with its administrative fee. Add the plumbing alteration at $30 plus $10 per device (about $60 for a sink, dishwasher and ice line), $60 for the electrical work up to 15 devices, and the $4.50 education fee: about $755, on top of the $75 zoning permit.
- Read from the official Lower Saucon 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. This municipality publishes no review standard of its own, so we quote the statute rather than a number nobody has verified — and we file the application and follow it through either way.
Most Lower Saucon 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.
