  3. Overall size of the new structure
  4. Statement of the height of the structure to the peak of the building from the ground
  5. Measurements from ALL property lines
  6. Measurements from well and septic (min. 10 feet per Health Department)
  7. Unless attached 10 feet min distance from any other structure (as a fire break)

Cost of permit is based on the square footage of the structure.
