Please note that all of the following documents must be submitted at one time in order for the applications to be accepted:

  • Application for a fence/gates, if a fence/gates was not previously permitted. - Indicate on the survey the location and height of the fence. See instructions on pulling a permit for fences for further requirements.
  • Building Application for the deck.
  • Building Application for pool - must include Lot, Block, Subdivision, Gallons of the new pool, and Job Value.
  • Electrical Application-must include job value.
  • If the survey is more than 12 months old, the owner will need to complete a Zoning Affidavit, which states that nothing on the survey has changed. If work was completed on the property that will alter the survey, a new survey will be required.
  • Mechanical Application (if installing a Heat Pump) - must include job value.
  • Plumbing Application - must include job value.
  • Two copies of the Pool Safety Act indicating what type of safety device will be used.
