Living in Pittsburgh: what to know

  • Nickname: the Steel City
  • County: Allegheny County
  • Population: about 300,000 (2.4 million in the metro area)
  • Area codes: 412 and 878
  • Region: Western Pennsylvania

Allegheny County's Health Department licenses plumbers throughout the county and inspects restaurants, and the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Permits, Licenses and Inspections handles building permits and contractor licensing inside city limits.

Because of the rivers and hills, a business that looks close on a map can be a long drive away. Check which side of the river it's on and whether a bridge or tunnel stands in the way, especially at rush hour.
