Permits
Permit applications are the same for Homeowner or Contractor, as well as all fees. If a Contractor is the one doing the work, they should be the one to pull the permit. A Homeowner can pull a permit for their house if they also reside there. Permits for non-owner-occupied properties must be applied for by the Contractor.
A permit must be pulled prior to work commencing or a penalty fee will apply.
If you are a contractor and have not done work in our city, we will need to register you; once registered we can provide you with a BSA pin number.
