Your project must meet new addition compliance with current zoning codes, design guidelines, set-backs, as well as height and lot coverage restrictions. For every residential addition in the City of Augustus, full sets of construction documents are required to be submitted, reviewed, and approved by various city departments before building permit issuance. The City of Augustus highly recommends using the services of registered licensed professionals to design and provide all necessary documentation for the submittal and review process.
