General Permit Information
All building projects, improvements, additions or alterations exceeding $100 require a building permit. If you are unsure if you need
a permit or not contact the building department. Projects needing a permit and started without one can be subject to code enforcement
action and charged up to three times the regular permit fee.
Permit fees in general are based on the cost of the project. The base fee is $30 for any project up to $1000.For each additional
$1000 add another $6. Click on the common questions box for an example and a more detailed explanation. A downloadable copy of most of
the forms and the application are available by clicking on the Forms site. All permit applications must include a Lien Law Requirement
Form (see forms site). Projects exceeding $2500 must include a filed and certified Notice of Commencement with the application. The
applicant may be asked to show a copy of the signed proposal or contract. All subcontractors must be listed on the application. They will
be permitted with the primary contractor and given the same permit number. This includes pools and mechanical permits when an electrician is needed.
A Power of Attorney form will be needed from each of the licensed subcontractors listed on the permit application, i.e. electrician, plumber, etc.
