Ask your municipality’s building code official. Loads vary with elevation and are highest near Lake Erie and in the northern tier and mountains. Tell us where snow drifts or slides off other roofs.

Check for posted roads. PennDOT and many townships post weight limits on local roads during the spring thaw. A loaded delivery truck may need a permit or may have to wait. Tell us which roads lead to your property.

Limestone areas in south-central and eastern Pennsylvania have sinkholes. Don’t place a building or slab over a sinkhole or a spot where water disappears into the ground.
