Permitting

Zoning permits are required for all new construction whether it's a new residential or commercial structure, a remodel/renovation or addition to an existing structure, an outside storage building, or an attached deck. Permits are also required for tree removal, swimming pools, a home based business, and signs. These are a few examples when a permit is required. Should you have any questions about your proposed improvement, please contact our office.

Typical turnaround time for a zoning permit is twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours.
