Permitting Do I Need a Permit? Determining if you need a permit is a major step in the process.* Some local governments may have different rules depending on what the property is zoned as. It’s very important to give them as much detail about your use and property as you have. Every city and county has different requirements; however, your permit office can give you some preliminary information to determine if you need a permit.

• Is a permit required for a prefabricated metal building? • What is the required ground snow load for my address? • What is the required wind load for my address? • Are there any square footage constraints due to my parcel size? • Are there any zoning issues that determine where I can put the building? • How far from my property line can I build? • What type of drawings are required? • Are there any utility lines that could cause issues with placement of the building?
