Frequently Asked Questions


When Do I need a building Permit?
Any new construction, structural additions, alterations, out buildings over 120 Sq. Ft., all interior remodels except for painting and carpeting, re-roofing and re-siding projects, placing a manufactured home in or out of a park, window or replacement if the opening size will be larger than the door/windows taken out.

Do agricultural buildings require a permit?
 All buildings require a permit, however for a farm placement set back, permits are issued only on buildings that conform to these placement requirements: building must be in an agricultural zoned district, must be 60’ from the all habitable structures, has to be on an actual working farm, and be used only for housing agricultural animals, livestock or farm implements. Setback requirements are 30’ from the road right of way and 7’ from the side and rear property lines

How much time does a permit allow me to build?
A permit issued is allotted for a 180-day time frame. If your project takes longer, if this is verified work in progress, you can by meeting certain criteria, be granted an extension by contacting our office.

How long does it take to issue a permit?
Depending on the type and complexity of project you are working on, it takes between 24 hours and 10 days. However an exception will be made for re-roofing, re-siding and sign permits to be issued the same day if you get us the information needed in a timely fashion.
