Bayville Permit Questions

Does my job need a permit?

Building, enlarging, altering, removing, demolishing or converting a building or structure does, and so does changing its use. Ordinary repairs that aren't structural do not, such as sheetrock, flooring, carpet, painting and wallpaper.

Who can do plumbing work?

Only a Village-licensed plumber, whether or not the job needs a permit. Landscapers and tree contractors also need a Village license, and property owners are liable for unlicensed work on their property.

When do I need a certificate of occupancy?

Before the building is used. An altered building can't stay occupied more than 30 days after the work is done without one. The application needs an electrical inspection certificate and a final survey. Temporary COs are available.
