Residential Rehab

Permit Required Before Work Begins

Every home rehabilitation project needs a building permit from the Building Inspections Division before any repair work starts. Contractors are expected to follow every state law, city ordinance and adopted building code that applies to the job.

Step 1. Gather the Required Information

Have these details ready before you apply for a residential rehabilitation permit:

• The project address and its legal description
• Contact details for the property owner, the contractor and any architect
• How the space will be used, plus the square footage and area affected
• The class of work, a short description, the job valuation and the property's market value
• A scope of work
• A floor plan that labels every room with its intended use and square footage and shows the exits

Step 2. Submit Your Application Online

Building permit applications are filed through the City of Fredville's online permit portal. New users need a working email address to register, and setting up an account takes roughly five minutes.

After You Apply

Most online applications are reviewed within 5 to 10 business days. If staff need corrections or more information from you, approval may take longer.

Help by Phone or in Person

Staff are glad to walk you through the online application over the phone or at the counter.
