Review the following information for various permits required by the City. Building Permits Building permits are required for any new building, remodeling, repairs, or additions done on houses, garages, pools, sheds, decks, or porches.
Some projects require permits for tree preservation or grading, drainage, and erosion control.
In those cases, you must obtain the necessary permits before the City will issue a building permit. After a staff review, the City will either issue a permit or deny the request. The City will not issue a building permit until after a grading, drainage, and erosion control permit is approved. Electrical Permits The City of Golden Valley requires, but does not issue, permits for electrical work. Applications are available at Crystal and New Hope City Halls.
