The permit cost will vary depending on the materials used and the size of the project. The Building Inspector will lay out any fees before you begin to avoid surprises once construction has started.

Once the permit has been issued you may begin construction on your project. Once it has been completed or have reached any milestone outlined by the Building Inspector, the Building inspector will visit the site to ensure construction was completed to meet minimum code requirements.
