class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Basically, this will depend on your local township or city. While some areas require you to get a<br>zoning and\/or building permit, some may not require either. I recommend checking with your local<br>township or city to see if one is required for your area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_permits_do_I_need\"><\/span>Which permits do I need?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_permits\"><\/span><strong>Building permits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A permit is required in most jurisdictions for new construction or adding on to pre-existing structures, and in some cases for major renovations. Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, regional, and local building codes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failure to obtain a permit can result in significant fines and penalties, and even demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Permits are generally not required in rural areas for portable buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zoning_permit\"><\/span><strong>Zoning permit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A zoning permit is a document from local government that allows a piece of land to be used for the described<br>purpose as well as confirms approval of the location on your property. Typically, local rules such as property setbacks dictate the possible locations for your future build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_do_building_permits_cost\"><\/span>How much do building permits cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricewise, your permit will vary by township. Typically, permits for standard buildings can range between $100-$500, whereas for larger buildings they can range from $1,500-$3,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_documents_do_I_need_to_obtain_a_building_permit\"><\/span>What documents do I need to obtain a building permit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to FEMA, typical construction documents required to obtain a building permit include:<br>\u2022 Local permit application and application fee<br>\u2022 Project plan<br>\u2022 Other potential local requirements include: maps; photographs; architectural\/engineering<br>designs; construction plans; energy calculations; and\/or post-disaster damage inspections<br>(i.e. substantial damage estimation for flood)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_my_permits\"><\/span>How do I get my permits?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to obtain a building\/zoning permit, you\u2019ll have to contact your local township, county, or city.<br>Typically, you will apply for and pick up your permit at your township, county, or city. I recommend<br>staying in contact with your township, county, or city regarding the status of your permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most shed and portable garage builders work directly with the customer to provide all required information and documentation to process permit applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five Things You Must Know About Building Permits For Sheds Do I need permits for a backyard shed or portable garage?
