RESALE CO APP

Declaration of Deed Restriction 2025-Fillable : Download, print, fill out, and have form notarized.

Please refer to the Resale CO Checklist if you have any questions on what will be inspected and any required paperwork needed to obtain your certificate of occupancy. You will need to call and schedule your inspections for either a Wednesday (South End) or Thursday (North End); weather permitting. We have a limit on the number of inspections done on those days- an application, check, survey, and entry information at minimum are needed to schedule.

 

Inspections & Building Permits

It is best to contact Building Inspectors or Code Enforcement Officers in the morning hours between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. before they begin their daily inspections.

Permit Applications may be submitted during regular hours of operation. Please have a complete application when applying. Informative handouts are available explaining required paperwork to accompany applications. Please allow twenty business days review time for new construction and substantial improvement permits.

An inspection schedule will be given when building permit is approved.

The schedule for inspections is as follows:

All Sub Codes
Monday, Wednesday, Friday – Areas South of Ship Bottom
Tuesday and Thursday – Areas North of Ship Bottom

We understand your need for timely inspections so please schedule them at least 24 hours in advance so that we can address our schedule accordingly. A block and lot number and address of the property to be inspected is needed, and a permit number is also helpful.

Certificates of Occupancy are usually issued three to five business days after approved building and zoning inspection is conducted. Please refer to the checklist that was provided to you.

A Note To Homeowners and Contractors
All general contractors and sub-contractors will require a state license as of January 1, 2006.

Building Permits are required for most types of construction.

If you are planning major construction or just general repairs, please contact the Construction Department about permit requirements.

House Numbers
We have become aware of numerous homes lacking house numbers. It is a requirement to have house numbers for emergency response (911) or fire response. Having these numbers allows for these responders to arrive rapidly, which in many cases will be lifesaving.

Property Maintenance Code: PM:304.2 Street Numbers
Each structure to which a street number has been assigned shall have such number displayed in a position easily observed and readable from the public right-of-way. All numbers shall be in Arabic numerals at least 3 inches (76mm) high and 1/2 inch (13mm) stroke. We appreciate your attention to this matter. Please contact our office 609-361-6679 to verify your house number.
