Permitting in Jefferson County

Building, remodeling or repair done to homes or buildings in Jefferson County must be properly permitted through all interested departments. Please note that the placement of a mobile home, modular building, storage building or any pre-fabricated structure must be properly permitted PRIOR to delivery to the site. As this process involves several agencies, which are housed in different buildings and locations we have developed this brief description of the permitting process to help citizens better understand and plan for permits in our county.

To obtain a building permit for any Individual Residential Structures (including additions, mobile homes or accessory buildings) you will need the following:

  • Sanitary Waste Approval
    • Health Department – Septic System
    • Environmental Services – Sanitary Sewer
  • Zoning Approval from Land Planning & development Services
  • Storm Water Management Permit or Exclusion Letter
  • Once you have these items you will then proceed to the Inspection Services office for the final building permits.
