Required land use permits must be obtained prior to beginning a construction or relocation project. After-the-fact permits will be charged a triple fee.
WHEN IS A LAND USE PERMIT REQUIRED?
A property owner must obtain a land use permit anytime a structure is to be built, moved, or structurally altered.
Examples: Construction of a new single family dwelling, addition to an existing single family dwelling, moving a garage onto a property, adding a deck or patio, removing an existing shed and replacing it with a newly constructed shed.
