38.0° Fair About ▼ Governance ▼ Departments ▼ Taxes/Assessing ▼ Online Services ▼ Public Notices ▼ Voting / Election Code Enforcement & Building Inspections Due to the influx of permit requests, general inquiries, and the small size of our department, permits may not be able to be reviewed or issued until 1-2 weeks after your submission. We appreciate your patience with our department and will get back to you as soon as we are able. Office Hours: Monday 8:00-1:00; Tuesday - Friday 8:00 - 3:00. The building files are available to view during office hours. To meet with the Code Enforcement Officer, you must schedule an appointment. Inspections & Appointments: Please call or email at least 48 hours before to schedule inspections or appointments. Building inspections required: It is up to the permit holder to call the Department for inspections. The Code Enforcement Officer has no way of knowing how fast your project may move along. Framing: Can be combined with plumbing rough-in inspection. Electrical: As of April 1st, 2021, all electrical permitting must be done through the State of Maine. If an 1190 form is required, please fill out the upper portion and send in to the assistant to code enforcement. Plumbing: Inspection done before closing in walls, and again at the occupancy inspection. External Wastewater System Septic System: Two inspections are required. Prior to the installation of pipes or gravel into the bed so we can view the scarification. Prior to backfilling. Final Inspection: Issuance of Occupancy Permit. Permits are required for all, but not limited to, new buildings, structural alterations to existing buildings, work involving the installation, replacement or relocation of plumbing fixtures, the installation of new or replacement septic systems, new or replacement signs, new swimming pools and demolition of existing buildings and blasting. The following activities shall not require a building permit: repairs, replacement and/or normal maintenance not requiring structural elements, decorative changes in existing structures or buildings. This means you are not rewiring, removing walls, replacing sheetrock or wiring; or replacing plumbing. Structural changes within a building would require a building permit. If your building/property is located within the Floodplain/Floodway, then repairs and replacement components must meet the Town of Naples Floodplain Management Ordinance. All building permit applications are required to have building plans and information showing all appropriate construction details. The plans and information are required so that a review for code and zoning compliance can be made prior to and during construction. A checklist of these requirements is attached to the Building Permit application. A final certificate of occupancy is required before new buildings and additions can be occupied. Inspections are very important to ensure compliance with building codes. The number and timing of inspection will vary depending on the size and scope of the project. The staff in the Codes Office can provide information on what inspections will be required for your individual building project. Please contact the Codes Office before proceeding with building or remodeling plans. Permits allow the enforcement of codes, which have been adopted as law by Federal, State, and Town. No matter what the specific project may be, the enforcement of codes is carried out to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. The Code Enforcement Office which enforces the codes is acting to assure safe construction.
