Building a New Home? Adding On?

Yep, there is likely a permit required. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, gas... it is better to call first and find out you don't need it, than to be issued a stop work order and ceasing to do any more work until all requirements are met. We are currently using the 2021 International Building & Residential Codes.

The City of Bevil Oaks Residential Permits- ** It is a REQUIREMENT for all contractors to be insured and to have licenses (if required by law) to pull permits. A permit will NOT be issued to a contractor that does not meet the City's requirements.**

  • Residential Permits- Get a Permit before rebuilding, before making major repairs, new construction or demolishing. Check with our building official and floodplain administrator for permitting requirements. Permits protect owners, residents, communities and their buildings by making sure construction meets current building codes, standards, flood ordinances and construction techniques. Permits also provide a permanent record of compliance with elevation, which is useful information when selling a home and getting a quote for flood insurance.
  • Floodplain Permits- Are you in zone AE? Not sure? Call us and we will look you up. For those properties in zone AE, a floodplain permit is REQUIRED for ALL work being done on the property. Contact us today for more information. PLEASE NOTE:The City requires homes located in the flood zone AE to be 2-foot above base flood elevation.

     

  • Inspections- If you have an active permit and are ready for an inspection please call the office. We will schedule an inspection with our City Inspector Mike Collier. Please note that the inspector is usually a few days out.
