Macungie housing
What Macungie homes mean for your kitchen.
Macungie has about 1,500 homes. Median year built: about 1982. 26% are detached singles, 5% were built since 2000, and 51% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Attached homes are also more common here than in most of our service area.

- Median home value
Homes this recent usually have sound wiring and plumbing, so more of your budget can go to what you see and touch: better cabinetry, stone and a layout that suits how you cook.
About 41% of homes here are attached, mostly twins and rowhomes. Shared walls limit where plumbing and venting can run, and narrow lots affect how cabinets and stone get into the house.
A typical kitchen remodel at our $30k–$60k planning range equals about 10%–20% of the median home value here. If resale matters to you, weigh your scope against that.

Macungie permits
Macungie kitchen remodeling permits — what to expect.
- How the permit fee is set
- Set by borough or township ordinance under the PA Uniform Construction Code and calculated on the estimated cost of construction, so it scales with the job rather than being a flat ticket. We publish a figure only where we have transcribed that municipality's own schedule, and we have not yet done so here — call the office above, or ask us and we will price the permits as part of your estimate.
- We have not transcribed Macungie's own fee schedule yet, so there is deliberately no dollar figure here. A number we have not read off the municipality's document is a guess, and a wrong permit figure is worse for your budget than an honest gap — the office above will quote it, and we pull the permit either way.
- 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 Macungie kitchen 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.
Macungie uses one Zoning & UCC permit application. It lists a $70 zoning fee and requires a plot plan and drawings. The form leaves building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical fees blank, so ask the borough for those amounts.
