What Doylestown’s Housing Means for Your Exterior Project
Doylestown Borough’s homes are older than most. The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2024 5 year estimates) counts 4,353 housing units in the borough, with a median year built of 1963. Of those, 3,393 homes were built before 1980, and 1,203 were built in 1939 or earlier. Of the 4,211 occupied homes, 1,980 are owner occupied.
Historic district homes and HARB
Doylestown Borough has a designated historic district. For properties in it, exterior changes that can be seen from the street and exceed $2,000 need a review of the Historical and Architectural Review Board (HARB) Certificate of Appropriateness requirements. Plan the siding profile, window style and roofing material with that review in mind.
Older homes and lead safe work
Paint on homes built before 1978 may contain lead. The EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule requires lead safe work practices by a certified firm when a project disturbs that paint, which can include removing old siding, trim or window frames. Ask every contractor how they will handle it before you sign.
Doylestown Borough Roof and Window Permits
Doylestown Borough publishes its own rules for roof and window work:
- Replacing a roof or windows requires a roof or window permit.
- No permit is required when less than 20 percent of the roof is being re-roofed or repaired.
- Roofing work must meet the 2018 International Building Code and the manufacturer’s instructions.
- A maximum of two asphalt, fiberglass or low slope roofing systems are permitted, and a new roof may not go over slate, wood shake, asbestos or clay tile.
- A tear off inspection and a final inspection are required.
- Windows repaired or replaced in kind, without any change to the structure, do not need a permit.
