Englewood (McMinn portion)

Englewood zoning ordinance section 12.03 requires a permit for construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, moving, demolition, change of occupancy, flood hazard work, signs, and other regulated equipment when the work exceeds $500. A permit is also required for flood hazard land alteration. The planning page separately states that a building permit is still required even if there is no charge.

• Exempt Ordinary minor repairs may be made with the approval of the Building Inspector without a permit, provided they do not violate the code
• Exempt Work under $500 is below the ordinance's stated permit threshold for many activities, but confirm the exact project type because the ordinance has several permit triggers
• Exempt Other exemption details were not clearly published beyond the ordinance text reviewed
