Building Inspection and Neighborhood Services
Commercial Building Permits
Commercial projects tend to be more complicated and often require several types of plans and permits. You may need to contact a building inspector or stop in to see an inspector during office hours to discuss your project and the submittals required. If you need information on how many plans and additional information is required for plan submittal, refer to the Plan Review Application. The last page of the Plan Review Application has a checklist of required submittal information.
Residential Building Permits
Building codes regulate almost every residential building project a property owner undertakes and most projects require a building permit.
The homeowner or a general contractor representing the owner may take out a building permit. When a permit is issued, there will be one or more required inspections. Final inspections are made of all permits.
Refer to the Building Handouts for information on many common permits for one or two family residential properties, such as additions and remodelling projects, basement remodelling, decks, fences, garages, swimming pools and other projects. Contact a building inspector for questions regarding building permits for commercial properties.
