How long might review take?

A typical review timeline was not verified. Ask the agency for its current completeness and review estimate.

How are inspections scheduled?

The permit holder must schedule required inspections before work is covered or concealed by calling the Zoning office at 662-252-3663. Manufactured-home placement requires a pierhole/pier/setback inspection; an appointment is required before building-plan review.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

2018 International Building Code, as stated by the Marshall County Building Department. N/A. The department states that storage buildings generally require permits, including sheds with permanent foundations regardless of size; no minor/cosmetic exemption list was published. Owner-occupants may obtain permits for their own property, but electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work must be performed by properly licensed contractors.

Before contacting the permit counter

Have the project facts ready.

A productive call starts with a clear description of the property and proposed work. Keep the site address, parcel or assessor number, project valuation, existing occupancy, approximate square footage, structural scope, contractor information, and desired start date in front of you. Those facts help the Authority Having Jurisdiction route the question to building, planning, fire, environmental health, or another reviewing discipline.
