I am remodeling my home. Which jobs require a permit?

Cosmetic alterations to a property don't require a permit. However, you must apply for a permit for any structural alterations. When you add an addition or outbuilding you will need to apply for a building permit. If you aren't sure if a job requires a permit call the office at 540-375-3036. See Permits for additional information.
