Building Permits Are Required!

No person shall commence any new construction or an additional structure to an existing building (including a porch or deck) destruction, exterior improvement, subdivision of land, or other development without first obtaining a building permit.

The application for a building permit shall be accompanied with the following information:

    (1)    Two copies of building plans which shall include the identification of any needed exterior finishes

    (2)    Two copies of a line drawing or plat illustrating the boundaries of the lot, the location of all improvements, and the location of any proposed improvements

    (3)    A copy of the applicant's deed, tax bill or other document indicating ownership interest in the subject property

Building permit applications are available at Village Hall or download below.

                Building Permit Application

               Reroof/Reside Application

Completed building permit applications shall be personally delivered to Village Hall. The Building Inspector shall determine if the application illustrates compliance with the Ordinance. Payment for said Building Permit is to be submitted with the application unless the proposed work requires a site plan then the Building Inspector will determine the fee and it will be due upon receipt of an approved Building Permit. Anyone who decides to cancel their permit application after the Building Inspector has already completed a site inspection, then they will be responsible for the cost of the Building Inspector's time and refunded the balance.

Please allow up to 10 days for the application to be processed prior to receiving a Building Permit - some projects may take longer.

It is the owner's responsibility to check the setback requirements prior to building. Complete Zoning Ordinances are available for review at Village Hall or at Robert W. Rowe Public Library. You may also use the following link to access the Zoning Ordinance book.
