Owner-occupied main homes escape reporting rules

The property contact-list law does not apply to property an individual owns and occupies as their main, permanent home. These homes are exempt from the chapter’s contact reporting and update duties.

Privacy protections for property owner contacts

Municipalities requesting listed contact details must show a reasonable need and use, including discussing property maintenance and upkeep with owners. Their requests must affirm that the information will not be used commercially or for purposes outside the request. Pennsylvania Address Confidentiality Program participants cannot be required to provide their actual address under this law. Their actual address also cannot be disclosed under this law.

New contact rules for property owners

The law takes effect 60 days after enactment and requires county chief assessors to maintain property contact lists. Owners of covered properties must submit contact details in the assessor’s required form within 30 days after purchase. When an owner receives a local code citation, the municipality must collect and send the property’s contact details for listing. Individual owners must provide their name, home address, phone number, and email address. Businesses must provide business details and a contact authorized to handle repairs, maintenance, or code violations. Limited liability companies must provide company details, a member or manager contact with ownership interests or rights, and an authorized repair contact. Required contact details include names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Owners or their representatives must report changes within 30 days. Counties may fine owners or representatives up to $500 for intentionally or knowingly providing false information or failing to update it.
