City of Ashland

City application lists residential and commercial permits for new homes, remodels, repairs, additions, roofing, siding, demolition, detached accessory buildings, fences, ramps, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, solar arrays, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and other work.

• Exempt Replacement heating systems do not require a permit if replaced with a new unit of the same size and design in the same location.

Note: The city application implies some very small or routine items may fall below permit thresholds, but a public exempt-work list was not published in the reviewed sources.

Building code
