Identify the permit, zoning office and inspection process for your location.
Start here
Before beginning a project, identify whether county or municipal zoning applies, whether a building permit is required, and whether environmental health review is needed for a well or septic system. Provide the property address and parcel information to the agency; ask which current forms and inspections apply.
Make the first call useful
Have the address, the type of request and any existing reference number ready. Ask whether the office handles your location, what documents are needed, and where the current application or schedule is published. Avoid sending private documents until you have verified the receiving agency.
