A construction permit is not required for fences, however you must submit a Minor Land Use application for zoning review. Please see the Fence Ordinance Document for rules. Any questions, please contact the Zoning Office.

Please contact the Construction Department to see if a permit is required for the type of work being done. BE ADVISED if you are found to be doing work without a permit FINES will be issued. These fines can range from $500 to $2,000. Examples of work that require permits: addition, new construction, interior renovation, plumbing, electrical, burglar alarm, water heater, furnace, boilers, air conditioning units, generators, chimneys, porch/deck, etc.

Before submitting any applications please make sure that all forms are complete; including signatures, estimated costs, phone numbers, license numbers, description of work, contractor‘s signature and seal, etc. If your application is not complete it will delay the review process. Review time varies, legally the Construction Department has 21 days to do permit plan review, typically we attempt to have reviews complete within one to two weeks.

Construction permit applications must be picked up in person or can be obtained by mail.
