Grand Forks ND:When do I need a permit?

• The short answer: If you have to pound a nail. When you are reshingling, residing, replacing windows, building a deck, pouring a new driveway or sidewalk and the list continues. The easier question to answer is; when don’t I need a permit? Sheds that are 120 square feet or less in area, fences 6’ and under in height, floor covering, wall covering and concrete on your residential property are the basic items that don’t require permits be issued. There are still regulations for the location of sheds and fences that must be met.
