Centre Region Code Administration (CRCA)

 

 

Proudly serving the municipalities of the Centre Region Council of Governments. The mission of the Centre Region Code Administration (CRCA) is to promote, provide and ensure the health, safety and welfare of all people working and residing in the participating municipalities of College, Ferguson, Harris, Halfmoon, Patton Townships and the Boroughs of State College and Bellefonte. The CRCA is responsible for the review, permit issuance and inspection of building construction, rental housing and commercial fire safety in the Centre Region, through the enforcement of the locally adopted and state mandated codes.


The 2023 Centre Region Rental Housing and Building Safety Code was adopted by State College Borough and Ferguson, College, Patton, and Harris Townships and will go into effect on August 1, 2023. 

 

Effective January 1, 2026:

New Rental Housing Permit Applications: Advanced payment of the rental housing permit fee, along with a $75.00 CRCA application fee, is required for all NEW rental housing permit applications prior to the rental housing inspection being scheduled. These fees are non-refundable. An invoice will be mailed to the designated property manager/bill to contact. Once payment is received, a rental housing inspector will contact the person-in-charge to schedule a housing inspection date and time. If the person-in-charge is not present within 10 minutes of the scheduled inspection start time, the inspector will assess a $100.00 no-show fee.
