Permit and Fees

A building permit is required to side or re-side all buildings. Residential siding is a set fee of $76.00 (includes state surcharge).

Specific Requirements

  • A water resistive barrier (house wrap) – one layer of #15 felt paper or equivalent is required on all buildings and attached garages. Not required on detached accessory buildings.
  • Siding must be installed per the manufacturer’s installation procedures.

Inspections

A final building inspection is required (provide photos of house wrap and flashing for vinyl siding). All inspections require a 24-hour notice to the Building Department. To schedule an inspection, please contact 651-322-2024.
