Pennsylvania House Bill 2629 (2025-26) proposes to amend Section 616.1 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. Currently, Section 616.1 requires a zoning enforcement notice to include, among other things, notice that failure to comply with the notice within the time specified, unless extended by appeal to the zoning hearing board, constitutes a violation, with possible sanctions clearly described. House Bill 2629 would replace “with possible sanctions clearly described” and instead require the enforcement notice to state that, “if applicable, an additional penalty may accrue for each successive day of the violation.” The purpose of the bill is to improve transparency so that property owners can take swift corrective action before fines escalate and encourage prompt compliance with zoning ordinances. The bill passed the House by a vote of 203-0 and has been sent to the Senate for consideration. Stay tuned for further legal developments.
