Attn: All residential owners The general misconception is that a building permit is required only if you are building a new home or undertaking a major construction, like the addition of another story to your home. However, building permits are equally critical for domestic remodeling. Home-improvement projects that require alterations to an existing structure may also require a permit. Any person applying for a permit to construct a facility or renovate a house must submit the following to the municipal office at least two weeks before the proposed start of construction: 1. Completed application form. 2. Erosion control plan(if the project will result in disturbing the ground due to use of mechanical equipment). 3. Four copies each of the site, architectural, and structural plans of the areas affected by such work. 4. Please indicate your proposed building schedule and the name of your building contractor. Construction work begun before a permit is granted will be subjected to stoppage and outright demolition at cost to the owner. After your application is approved, your building contractor will be issued a permit, which must be posted at the work site throughout the period of construction.
