- Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system...§R105.1
- Code reference
- This is codified in Brighton Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 15 (Buildings and Construction), particularly Article 15-28 (International Residential Code adoption and amendments).
- Building
- One-story detached accessory structures (e.g., sheds, playhouses) ≤ 200 sq ft floor area (zoning must still be met); retaining walls ≤ 4 ft high (footing to top); painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, countertops, and similar finish work; prefabricated swimming pools < 24" deep; swing set
- Electrical
- Listed plug-and-cord temporary decorative lighting; replacement of a circuit breaker (same location/capacity); low-voltage wiring/devices (< 25 volts, ≤ 50 watts); minor repairs like changing bulbs or same-location fixture/outlet replacement.
- Notes on exemptions and triggers
- The FAQ lists slightly varying shed thresholds (e.g., < 120 sq ft in one place); the dedicated permit guide (200 sq ft) is the more specific reference.
- Code reference
- Any structural alteration, enlargement, or repair affecting the structure generally triggers a permit under the broad “alter/repair” language of R105.1 (no separate valuation-based threshold or explicit “structural trigger” list beyond this).

- Use tax is 3.75% applied to 50% of the project valuation (materials + labor).
