How to Get Building Permits for Metal Buildings

Most states require permits for new construction and remodeling projects.

However, each state has different requirements, issuing permits via city offices, local townships, or county offices if the project occurs in an unincorporated community. If you plan to do electrical work, demolition, or build a new structure, it's best to check local regulations before you begin.

Do the research now and save yourself time and money on your metal building construction project.  

This building permits reference guide makes that research easy, helping you find resources for getting permits issued in your area. We've also included a link to the top-rated concrete contractors near you.

It’s entirely up to you whether you decide to pull permits. However, if you put up a building without a permit when one is required, the local authorities may issue fines or force you to change the structure to meet local regulations.

When you sell the property, unauthorized structures can impede the sale. Worse, local officials may even force you to tear the building down. In most cases, it’s best to avoid the risk and secure a permit.

We’ve done most of the leg work for you by creating an index of the top ten counties in each state that Alpha Structures serves. Inside this guide are direct links to county and city zoning offices or development departments where you can find the information you need to get started.

In many cases, we’ve also listed downloadable PDF permit application forms.      

**If you live in a county that isn’t listed, you may still find this index useful because it shows you where and city, county, and municipal websites list their building permit information. You can also do a Google search for “building permits for + your county + your state.”
