Residential Building Permit Application (PDF)
A Residential Permit Application is required to receive approval before building, renovating, or making major repairs to a home. It collects important information about your project—such as the property address, type of work, construction plans, and contractor details—so the Building & Codes Department can review it for compliance with safety codes, zoning rules, and other regulations. Approval ensures your project is built to legal and safety standards, protecting you, future occupants, and the community.
Commercial/Industrial Permit Application (PDF)
A Commercial/Industrial Permit Application is required to obtain approval before starting construction, renovations, or significant alterations to a business, manufacturing facility, warehouse, or other non-residential property. This application includes key project details—such as the property address, type of business, scope of work, site and building plans, and contractor information—so the Building & Codes Department can review it for safety, accessibility, zoning compliance, and adherence to all applicable building codes. Submitting and receiving approval helps ensure that commercial and industrial projects are safe, functional, and meet both local and state regulations, protecting employees, customers, and the surrounding community.
Inspection Checklist
An Inspection Checklist is a helpful guide that outlines the items our inspectors will look for at each stage of your construction project. It helps property owners, contractors, and builders prepare for inspections by detailing specific requirements—such as structural work, safety features, and code compliance—before the inspector arrives. Using this checklist can prevent delays, reduce the risk of failed inspections, and ensure your project moves smoothly toward completion while meeting all legal and safety standards.
Fee Schedule
A Fee Schedule is a clear list of the charges for permits, inspections, and other building-related services provided by the Town. It outlines exactly how much you’ll pay for different types of work—such as new construction, remodeling, electrical or plumbing installations, and required inspections. By reviewing the fee schedule before you start your project, you can plan your budget, avoid unexpected costs, and make sure all payments are made on time to keep your project moving forward smoothly.
Zoning Compliance / Site Plan Requirements
Zoning Compliance / Site Plan Requirements refer to the rules and guidelines that ensure your construction project matches the Town’s zoning laws and overall development plan. Before you begin building, the Town reviews your site plan—a detailed drawing of your property showing the building’s location, driveways, parking areas, landscaping, and other features—to make sure it follows requirements like setbacks, building height, land use, and environmental considerations. This process helps protect neighborhood character, ensure safety, and maintain orderly growth in the community.
2018 IBC & Municipal Ordinances
The 2018 International Building Code (IBC) has been adopted by the Town of Stanton and sets minimum requirements for building design, structural integrity, fire safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility. Municipal ordinances are the Town’s local laws and regulations that work alongside the IBC to address community-specific needs—such as zoning rules, signage, property maintenance, and historic preservation. Together, they ensure that all buildings are safe, sustainable, and compatible with the character of Stanton.
