When do I need a permit?

A permit is required for any new construction, addition, alteration, or repair with an estimated cost of labor and material greater than $2,500 or work that is structural (to include installing, removing, or repairing any wall or partition). Replacement of a window(s) and/or a door(s) is considered structural and will require a permit.

• Roofing Permit - Required for any repairs or installation of roofing which exceeds 100 square feet of area.
• Electrical Permit - Required when any new electrical circuits are added, extended or service is changed.
• Plumbing Permit - Required when any new piping, re-piping, or fixtures are added, including backflow devices.
• Mechanical Permit - Required when any heating or air conditioning equipment is being extended, relocated or changed out, including ductwork. No permit is required for the installation of window A/C units.
• Gas Permit - Required for any new gas piping, extending existing gas piping, or the installation or replacement of gas appliances.
