Who can apply for a building permit?

Anyone who wishes to do work on his private residence may do any or all of the work himself. As with all building construction in Livingston, the Building Inspector and/or Fire Inspector makes periodic inspections to see that the work meets the requirements of the adopted Code. A list of inspections is provided to the permit holder when the permit is issued and it is this person's responsibility to see that all inspections are made at the proper time. Permits for work on a structure other than a private residence must be purchased and the work completed by a licensed professional in the corresponding field.
