When is a permit required?

In the Village of Pleasantville, both state and local codes require that no person or organization shall begin to excavate, erect, construct, enlarge, alter, remodel or repair a structure, install any mechanical equipment or systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical, elevator, fire suppression or detection system, without first having applied for and obtained a building permit. Also, special structures such as swimming pools, decks, signs, and fuel tanks also require permits.
