Permits
This department is responsible for the issuance
of all building permits and code enforcement issues
for the Town of Cicero.
We will be happy to discuss your future projects
and concerns. Below you will find the basic requirements
for the review and issuance of building permits.
Building Permits are required for any new construction,
to include:
| Any
|
addition
to the house (e.g. deck, porch, garage, etc.) |
| Any
|
structural,
plumbing, or electrical alterations |
| Any
|
swimming
pools (above ground or in-ground), these also
require an electrical Permit (applications
for Electrical may be obtained in the Zoning
& Planning Office), there are also certain
guidelines for fences for pools |
Any |
storage
shed (no matter the size) |
Any |
demolition
of buildings |
Any |
fireplace,
pellet stove, wood stove, etc. |
Any |
signs
(signage) |
When applying for a Building Permit, an application
must be obtained from the Zoning and Planning Office,
fees are based on the value of the work and; therefore,
vary. Please submit an accurate copy of your survey
indicating where the work will occur, comprehensive
construction plans must be submitted with the application.
Surveys are most likely kept with your mortgage
papers.
The installation of a fence does not require a Building
Permit, but can not be installed in a drainage swale
or an easement, and can not exceed six feet in height.
No solid fence is allowed in a required front yard.
You may place the fence on your property line.
Corner lots are more restricted because of the building
line setbacks. We suggest that you bring a copy
of your survey to our office with any questions
on proposed construction.
You must maintain drainage easements (swales) including
mowing, as the property owner. They must be kept
clear of grass clippings, debris, trees, etc., in
order to maintain the correct flow of water.
If you live in the 100-Year Flood Zone, a Flood
Plain Development Permit must be applied for along
with your Building Permit for ANY work. In some
cases, a Flood Plain Permit must be obtained for
work that does not require a Building Permit (such
as siding, windows, painting, grading, etc.)
Please do not hesitate to contact our office at
(315) 699-2201 with any questions or for additional
information. |
