When a Permit Is Required
When You Need a Permit
Permits are required when building, remodeling or enlarging a building. Permits are also required for other improvements to your property. Projects that are cosmetic (such as painting, wallpapering, carpeting, cabinets, and trim work) do not require permits. Additionally, permits are not required when replacing fixtures on existing wiring or plumbing.- Accessory Buildings
