Building Permits – Building Permit Requirements (clicking the link will take you to another page)
Building permits are required under the Uniform Construction Code (UCC) for most construction-related activities, whether residential or commercial.
A building permit is required for, but not limited to, the following:
- New construction
- Additions and alterations
- Demolition
- Accessory structures over 1,000 square feet
- Swimming pools and hot tubs 24 inches deep or greater
- Any structural changes to a dwelling
Building permits are required for nearly all work performed on commercial structures.
In some cases, a zoning permit is also required in addition to a building permit. However, certain projects require only a zoning permit, including:
- Fences
- Sheds less than 1,000 square feet
- Retaining walls less than 4 feet in height
Zoning Use Permits are also required for any change in the use of a structure.
