Building Permit and Inspection Requirements

Do I need a building permit?

A property owner must obtain permits for new construction and any addition or change to the exterior or interior of a structure or for any type of electrical, heating or plumbing work. Individuals constructing new buildings or taking over a new tenant space will also need to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy.
