Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a building permit?

A building permit is required for any structural construction of a new or additional nature, such as a new fence, addition to your house, detached garage, or outbuilding.  A permit is not required if you are repairing an existing fence with the same size, material, and location of the existing fence, or if you are replacing your home's existing roof, siding, or windows with no change to the structure.  Also remember, if you are digging anywhere, you are required to call 811 to request location of ground service wires and pipes.  For more info, call 402-235-2119.
