SWIMMING POOL ALERT!
Are you planning on installing any type of pool this year?? If the pool you are purchasing has the ability to hold more than 24 inches of water, you will need a permit prior to installation. This includes any swimming pools purchased at local retail establishments and includes permanent as well as temporary pools. Please refer to the Building, Planning and Zoning section for information and permits.
BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS FOR TOWN & VILLAGE PARCELS
Applications (available on our " download forms" page) are reviewed for completeness and compliance with applicable codes and zoning requirements by the staff.
Code enforcement officials inspect all buildings and construction sites for compliance with federal, state and local codes. Fire inspections are performed by department personnel on a regularly scheduled basis.
If you are planning to remodel, build an addition or structure, erect a fence, install a driveway, or make any other changes to your property, contact the department before starting your project. They can help you determine what federal, state and/or local ordinances might be applicable. All properties have minimum setbacks and restrictions depending on zoning and many projects require a permit. Permits are valid for up to one year depending on the type and scope of the project.
