A riverside township built out in blocks, where an association often has a say in shingle color before the township ever sees a permit.
East Coventry runs along the Schuylkill between Pottstown and Phoenixville, crossed by Routes 23 and 724, with Pigeon Creek draining through it. Parker Ford is the old river community, and Fricks Locks survives from the canal era. Most of the housing arrived later and in blocks: Coventry Glen, Coventry Greene, Pheasant Run, Fields at Creekview. Many of those neighborhoods carry a homeowners association.
In an association neighborhood, the shingle you pick may need committee sign-off on color and profile before anything happens. We put together the product documentation, then handle the municipal side. The building permit for roof replacement is issued by East Coventry Township under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, separately from anything your association requires.

In a lot of East Coventry neighborhoods, yes. Associations commonly keep an approved list of shingle colors and profiles, and replacing outside that list can mean doing it twice. Check your governing documents or ask the management company early, and we will provide the product sheets and color samples you need to submit.
No, they are separate and you generally need both. The association decides appearance, while East Coventry Township issues the building permit for the work itself under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and sends an inspector. Association approval does not substitute for a permit, and a permit does not satisfy the association.
There is no reason to wait for a leak, and there can be an advantage in scheduling near your neighbors, since setup and disposal are more efficient. What matters more is condition. If your slopes are shedding granules and the valleys are worn, being on the same clock as the street is normal, not suspicious.
Less than people assume for the roof itself, more for what grows on it. Corridor humidity and the tree line along Pigeon Creek keep north slopes damp, which encourages algae streaking and moss at the shingle laps. Algae-resistant shingle and valleys kept clear handle most of it.
