Required Documents, Drawings, Supplemental Forms, and Checklists to accompany your building permit application
When completing your building permit application, the amount of information and detail necessary on your supporting drawings depends on the class of permit you are applying for. For example, a site plan is required for both a new building and a pool permit, but the site plan for the pool permit does not need as much information as what is required for a new detached house.
In the sections below you will find information on what information is required on your drawings depending on the class of building permit you are applying for. Expand each section below to see the types of projects that fall under each permit class, and what documentation is required.
