- 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 28% 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 7%–14% of the median home value here. If resale matters to you, weigh your scope against that.

Upper Macungie permits
Upper Macungie kitchen remodeling permits — what to expect.
- Permit office
- Upper Macungie Township Building & Zoning
- 8330 Schantz Rd, Breinigsville, PA 18031
- (610) 395-4892
- How the permit fee is set
- Upper Macungie issues the zoning permit itself but sends UCC plan review and inspections to a Pennsylvania-certified third-party Construction Code Official, and the Township publishes no building-permit fee schedule — its adopted schedules cover zoning, subdivision and appeal fees only. So the building fee is quoted when the plans are reviewed, not looked up in advance, and it is calculated on the estimated cost of construction rather than charged as a flat ticket.
- There is deliberately no dollar figure above, because there is no published schedule to read one from — and inventing one would be a guess. A wrong permit figure is worse for your budget than an honest gap. We pull the permit and carry the fee through your estimate 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 Upper 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.
