What is a Demolition Permit?

Answer:
If you are thinking about knocking down that old shed
built by grampa, you'd better check with your city or town to get the necessary permits to do so.

The days of hitching the tractor to the rickety old barn to bring it down are pretty much gone (not that some people don't still do it). 

Many older buildings might contain a number of toxic materials, including asbestos, lead-based paints, and more.

Most states, cities and towns today have ordinances or statutes that require permits for a variety of things, including that of demolishing buildings or other structures.

Demolition permits are required to ensure the process of demolition will meet other important controls such as environmental, health and public safety.

In most municapalities, demolition projects must be carefully planned; all toxins must be first mitigated according to established acceptable practices; and destruction must be carried out in a way that is safe, clean, and free of hazards to those performing the task as well as those in the surrounding area.
