Home Improvement Permit

To find out if a home improvement or construction project requires a permit, you should first contact a registered architect or professional engineer.

Certain improvement projects, including interior painting, installing kitchen cabinets and bookshelves, or replacing bathroom fixtures, usually do not require a permit.

For more information about the types of building construction projects and alterations that require permits, you may contact your Department of Buildings Borough Office.
