I want to construct a new building or an addition to an existing structure. How do I proceed?Additions to or remodeling of your existing residence may be possible, but require the submission of detailed plans and obtaining permits before any construction can begin. We suggest that you consult our Development Standards brochure for basic information on standards for your area. We recommend that you devise a concept plan and check with both the Planning and Building and Safety Divisions, prior to developing final plans, to ensure that what you wish to build is in compliance with applicable Zoning and Building Codes.
