Building permits are required for most projects, including such things as new homes, additions, sunrooms, swimming pools, decks, and accessory building larger than 150 square feet. Non-structural minor repairs such as painting, carpeting, door and window replacement, and roofing do not require a building permit. It is recommended that Construction Code Inspectors, Inc. be consulted to confirm whether a permit is required for any planned projects.
