Demolition

When do you need a demolition permit? 

  • You need a demolition permit to demolish any structure that required a building permit to construct. This also includes structures that were improperly built without a permit.
  • You need a separate demolition permit for each structure that you wish to remove. To demolish a detached garage and house on the same property, you need two separate permits.
  • You need a demolition permit even if you get a building permit to construct a new building in its place.
