Utility/Storage Shed Permits


When you're building a shed outside your home, any freestanding structure over the size of 100Sq Ft will require a permit. Though this may seem unnecessary, your building will be shut down quickly if you begin without a permit in hand.

These permits are required to ensure that your structure is up to code and is being built properly and safely - to avoid injury or death due to improper construction. You also need to consider exactly where the shed will be placed. Even though you have your entire backyard to choose from, there may be specific zoning requirements that may prevent you from using a specific section of your yard.

Permits are also required to ensure that structures are only built within appropriate property lines. Even if you erect your shed one inch over your neighbor's property line, it will have to come back down until the entire structure is on your property.

Sewer Replacement Permit



Whenever an existing sewer is being replaced, you'll need a permit a for that!

Materials Needed - Only specifically approved materials can be used such as Ductile Iron, Polyethylene (PE) SDR 11 and 17, and PVC Pipe SDR 26 and 35.

Cleanouts - A cleanout for the building where the sewer is located must be placed. This is to be installed in the direction of the flow of water and must be located two feet outside of the building the sewer is to be placed near. Only approved materials can be used to build the cleanout.

Testing - A plumbing code-complying water test should be performed when work is done, to search for leaks. A low-pressure air test should also be performed.

Permit Types - Roofing Permit



Roofing permits have become necessary to ensure that a suitable roof is being fitted to your home. One that will stand up to a reasonable amount of bad weather.

Permits for roofing are typically granted easily, so long as the plan for the roof is suitable and meets specific conditions for safety.

If repairs are being done to the roof, it is unlikely that a permit will be needed. Typically, permits will only be required if a change to the layout or structure of the roof is being changed. However, in some cases, having an extra layer of shingles added to the roof can require a permit.

While roofing permit requirements are usually standard, certain regulations can vary by state and proper research should be done before starting any roofing project.
