1. So you want to build?
Zoning Affects Every Building And Use: Simple
questions concerning zoning and allowable uses within a zone can be answered by
the Building Official according to the current zoning map and how your property
is zoned
Building Permits: What you need will be determined by what you
area going to build. Generally, you will need to bring a set of Building Plans
and Plot Plans. However, it could be that all you would need to bring is a sketch.
Fees will be determined by square footage or construction cost and the number
of plumbing fixtures. Any electrical work that would require a permit must be
obtained from whichever power company services your area. Pool Permits are required
for above ground or in ground pools. You are required and must obtain a permit
before any work can be done. You also have other requirements to meet, such as
a 48 inch clearance on your pool as well as other restrictions.
Privacy
Fences: Be advised, on corner lots where a double front setback is required, and
where there is a common rear yard relationship with a lot in the same block, a
fence on greater than forty eight (48) inches in height above the existing grade
of the land may be installed along the common street line front the front building
setback line to the rear of the property line. When installing a fence be aware
of all easements, and do not block any storm drainage.
