Since the spring construction
season is now upon us, residents are reminded that building permits are
required for the following projects:
- Construction of any building (house, garage, shed, or any structure)
- Additions to any house or structure
- Re-roofing
- Fences
- Decks, Porches, or Pergolas
- Remodeling of any sort (including finishing any basement area, windows, or doors)
- Heating or air conditioning (new or replacement)
- Electric work
- Plumbing
- Any moving or demolition of buildings
Please plan ahead. The amount of time to issue any
permit may take up to five (5) days.
Failure to obtain a building
permit can result in double fees and/or citations. We’d also like to make you aware that there
have been issues arising at the time of home sales that have been caused by
building permits not being pulled for work that has been done on the home. This has resulted in some sellers losing
their buyers.
Please feel free to contact
the Building Inspector with any questions you may have at 757-5151, ext. 2200. Our office ours are Monday through Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We recommend making an appointment with the Building Inspector to ensure their availability.
