📘 Part 1: How to Complete Page 1 of the Permit Application
Page 1 of the permit application provides foundational information needed to begin the review.
A complete and accurate Page 1 helps prevent delays, resubmissions, or requests for clarification.
1. Top Section – Property & Applicant Information
This section must be filled out in full and includes:
- Property location (lot number, street address, or legal description)
- Applicant name and contact information
- Contractor name and contact information
- Project start date and completion date
🔸 Important Reminder:
Your project’s start date must be at least 30 days after submitting the application. This ensures that the ECC has the full 30‑day review window allotted by policy. Applications missing start or completion dates frequently require follow‑up and may delay processing.
2. Bottom Section – Written Detailed Scope of Work
This is one of the most important sections of the entire application and a common source of missing information.
Your description should give the ECC a clear picture of what is being built, including:
- Type of project (single‑family home, barndominium, garage, shop, driveway, porch, etc.)
- Key characteristics (square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, garage size, porches, layout features)
- Exterior materials and colors
- Roof materials and color
- Window and door types, quantities, and finishes
The more detailed the description, the fewer follow‑ups or delays you will experience.
📋 Example Detailed Scope of Work
This project is for the construction of a 2,225 sq. ft. single‑family residence with 3 bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms on a concrete slab foundation. The home will include a double‑car garage and concrete driveway. Exterior materials include (color name) Hardie board siding with (color name) brick wainscoting, and (color name) trim, fascia, and soffit. Windows will consist of 12 (color name) double‑hung and fixed glass units, sized per the window schedule. Exterior doors will include 4 (color name) metal walk‑through doors and 2 (color name) metal sectional garage doors with no windows. Roofing will be black architectural composition shingles, with roof pitches specified in submitted drawings.
Feel free to use this example as a template for your own description.
3. Page 2 – Project Details & Materials List
Page 2 allows the ECC to verify that your chosen materials comply with community standards.

Be sure to include:
- Type of material (Hardie, brick, stone, stucco, metal, etc.)
