Now that you have your application and site plan there are a couple of additional items needed. For a zoning permit you will need basic elevation views. (see example below) Please indicate if the shed is going to be installed on a foundation, concrete piers or blocks, or a stone pad.
If you are installing or constructing a shed that is less than 200 sf. there is no requirement for a building permit unless you are installing utilities such as electrical. However, there are requirements in the building code that require the shed to be anchored properly. Your lumber yard or shed manufacturer can assist you in choosing the proper anchors.
If you are constructing a deck it will need a
building permit regardless of the size, and require a more detailed design plan including the dimensions of the lumber being used, the depth of the frost protection, and details of it's piers including diameter and height off the ground. If you need assistance in designing your deck we have included a couple of resources below.
Besides the websites listed above there are many other deck design services available on the internet for free that you can utilize.
If the project is a pool you will need additional information that can be found here in the
pool package.
If any of the improvements are being installed by a contractor, with the exception of a pre-manufactured shed less than 200 sf., the Building Department will need the following:
- A copy of the contractors license
- A copy of the contractors valid works comp insurance
