The Goshen Building Department issues building permits and enforces building codes. A building permit is required if major improvements, such as new construction, re-roofing, siding, or additions, are to be made to the property. Contact the Building Department if you are unsure if you need a building permit. The Building Department also handles licenses for electrical and heating contractors.

All rental units in Goshen must be registered with the Building Department. Rental units must also have a bi-annual inspection. Contact the Building Department to find out if your rental unit has been registered and properly inspected. Before making any conversions of single family homes, a call should be made to check zoning compliance.
