To Install a Lawn Irrigation System
Many home improvement projects are subject to community zoning and building code restrictions and do require a permit. This information sheet has been written to help you with your construction project. It lists the information needed to be submitted with an application for your specific project.
IMPORTANT NOTE – It is vitally important that all projects be accompanied with plot plans (plot plans can generally be found with the legal documents on your property. Sometimes they may be referred to as site plans or mortgage surveys). A typical example of a plot plan is reflected on the back of this sheet.
Please submit the following information:
