Build or Make an Addition
Additions and detached structures significantly impact zoning and structural integrity, requiring both building permits and a site plan review. Use the resources on this website for general guidance to get started. Once you apply, Inspectional Services will confirm the specific documents needed for your project.
Please note: We're actively working to add even more permit project content to our new permitting BETA site. Please continue to check back for updates and new content.
