Building Permit Applications

Please consider the following before requesting a building permit:
  1. Does my project require a building permit?

    Permits are required for all new construction, alterations, and remodels. Examples of projects that require permits are listed in the Interior Remodel Permit Policy document. However, since every project has unique parameters, please contact us if you have questions.

  2. Design & Permit Review:

    If you answered yes to #1 above, your project must first go through the design and review permit process. Please use the document below to review what is needed to get your project started:

    After your design and permit review are approved, which includes a completed building permit application, your building permit is issued.

  4. Schedule Applicable Inspections

    After your building permit is issued, you must schedule inspections for the property. This will include town of Mt. CB inspections, electrical, plumbing, fire, and water/sewer.
