What are the requirements to obtain a building permit for an accessory structure i.e. shed, deck or pool?
You must fill out a building and zoning permit application. It must be accompanied by 2 sets of scaled drawings showing how the structure is to be built. Pools obviously are exempt from the requirement of scaled drawings. Sheds, if pre-built, can be accompanied by the manufacturer’s literature illustrating the construction. We also need 2 plot plans of the property lines and the dwelling. If you do not have a plot plan or survey of your property we may be able to help you. If you or the previous homeowner has applied for a building permit within the last 10 years, we may have a plot plan or survey of your property in our files. Contractor’s workers’ compensaton forms are also required at the time of application.
