What this form is
Spring Grove Borough uses this application for proposed work that does not fall under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code; work that is not UCC-exempt requires a building permit application instead. Applicants provide project, property, contractor, and construction details, and submit a plot plan with the completed, signed, dated application. The package also includes workers’ compensation information, with a notarized affirmation required when a contractor claims an exemption from providing coverage.
Who needs it
Property owners or authorized representatives proposing UCC-exempt work in Spring Grove Borough must submit this application with the requested project details and plot plan.
Why it needs a notary
The workers’ compensation exemption section contains a sworn affirmation; the contractor-applicant claiming an exemption signs it before the notary.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized part of this application?
- Complete Section C only if you are a contractor claiming an exemption from workers’ compensation coverage. Sign the sworn affirmation before a commissioned online notary, then include it with your application.
- Do I need to notarize the entire zoning permit application?
- No. The form’s notary block appears in the workers’ compensation exemption section. It applies when a contractor claims an exemption; the application signature is separate.
- Can I use an online notary for the sworn affirmation?
- Pennsylvania has authorized remote online notarization for its own commissioned notaries since 2020 under 57 Pa.C.S. §306.1. Under 57 Pa.C.S. §311, a notarial act performed elsewhere has the same effect as one performed by a notary here.
- What should I submit with the application?
- The borough checklist calls for a completed, signed, dated application and a plot plan showing dimensions of existing and proposed improvements. Include workers’ compensation insurance information or the applicable exemption section.
- Where should I confirm permit requirements?
- The form advises applicants to contact the borough office if they are unsure whether to use a zoning or building permit application; confirm with the city, borough or township if unsure.
