What types of projects are considered RESIDENTIAL ALTERATIONS?
RESIDENTIAL ALTERATIONS
are any projects within a dwelling that are confined to the existing footprint of the dwelling.
Some examples include:
Enlarging/Adding Windows and/or Doors
Adding a Fireplace
Kitchen Remodel
Bath Remodel
Basement Finish
These are just a few of the projects that are considered residential alterations.
Do I Even Need A Permit for My Project?
Each municipality varies by price and type of project as far as what is required for permitting, but you can assume that any project that changes occupancy, area, structural strength, fire protection, exits, light or ventilation is going to need a building permit.
To be certain, we encourage you to email our office with the details of your project, the cost associated with it (RS Means), and your address. That way, you will not find yourself in a non-compliant building situation and at risk of fines.
Required Documents
Applicant Signature Form
This form is required to confirm your application. Please review the information and sign to acknowledge and authorize the application.
Plans

Please Note:
It is not possible to determine in advance every permit requirement for every project. Listed below are documents that may be required. If you know that any of these apply to your project, please upload them as attachments with another required document in the application portal to help avoid delays.
If additional documentation is needed, All Croix will contact you by email during plan review.
