| Entrance Permit |
|
Entrance Permits are typically associated with a new build, renovation, or a new lot creation. Your building permit will be issued after the Building Department receives confirmation that you have completed an entrance application. After an entrance permit application has been completed and paid for, a representative of the Public Works Department will check the location to see if a culvert is required and if the sight lines are sufficient for safe entry onto the roadway. We suggest delaying the installation of the final culvert until after the heavy equipment is finished at your building site as a heavy truck could crush the entrance culvert, requiring you to pay to have another one installed. Once the final building inspection is approved, your deposit will be released. Entrance Permit Fees including deposits: $2,701.25 |
