Demolition Permit (Demo)

When you phone into our office you will be required to provide us with a flag number, an address and a contact person's name and phone number. We will also need to know if this is a residential property or commercial property. In most cases we will field review the sight within the same day or next day.

The Demolition of the structure is in direct relation to it's location to the public sidewalk and the public street or public alley.

What we look for in our transportation inspection:

  1. Location of the structure in relation to the area that the rubble is pulled to known as the work area. This determines if the work can be done on site or needs to be done in the public area.

  2. How close the public sidewalk and public street or public alley is to the structure. If there is a large distance between the structure and the sidewalk or the street or alley you will most likely not be required to install barricading. If the sidewalk or street is to close to the structure you will be required to install barricading to protect the public. This requires you to come into our office and receive guidance on how the barricading is to be laid out. You are required to provide a sight plan of the area showing the public sidewalk and public street.

After our field inspection we will call in the location to the permit counter as a "No Barricading Required" or "Barricading Required."

The process of obtaining a "Demo" permit is four to five steps;

  1. Call our office for an inspection.
  2. Our field review of the location.
  3. Our phone in report of our findings.
  4. You may then receive you permit with a "No Barricading Required" or "Barricading Required."
  5. If you receive a "Barricading Required", you will need to stop into our office at 450 South 200 East, Suite 450 (4th floor) to receive instruction on how the barricading is to be laid out.
