When do I need a residential building permit? For residential buildings (single and two-family homes) with construction materials over $5,000.00 a building permit is required but the inspection process is strictly voluntary. However, a Certificate of Occupancy cannot be issued unless the inspections are completed. The town does NOT require that you get a permit for residential projects with under $5,000 in building materials.
