Projects have different requirements, depending on the nature of the work. Before you apply, learn about zoning permits and prepare the required materials.
You need to include 3 copies of these documents with your application:
- Accurate survey showing the proposed location of the work, drawn to scale
- Proposed work plan, floor plan, sign, structure, pool, deck, shed, etc.
If you are applying for a Certificate of Continued Occupancy, you do not need to provide a survey but you need to include a floor plan of the tenant space.
You are also exempt from the survey requirement if you are applying for residential rooftop solar panels.
