Construction Permit Application Process

Important first steps:

1. Confirm your planned construction is within established set-back limits. If you are unsure of the set-back limits for the Zone your property is in, check with the Livingston Zoning Office. You may be asked to submit a Zoning Review form.

2. Bring a copy of a survey of your property to the Zoning Office on your first visit. Draw your planned construction on a copy of a property survey for review with the Zoning Office. Ensure the drawing is to scale and complies with all zoning and set-back rules.

3. A Permit Request Form and Construction Permit Application (page 1, page 2, page 3) is required for all construction listed below. There are some categories of construction that do not require this form. For both Major and Alterations categories below, the Electrical and Plumbing sections of the Permit Request Form should be filled out by a licensed Electrician and Plumber, who must also place their seal on the form. You will receive these forms on your first visit to the Building Office to review your planned construction.

4. Major categories below also require a Development Fee Calculation Form. Print out the form, fill it out, make 5 copies and bring in with your Permit Application.

5. When submitting your Construction Permit Application, provide three (3) sets of construction drawings and a sealed survey of the property certified to current owners. Also, a copy of the sealed survey showing the proposed work drawn to scale if the footprint or height of the home is changing.
