Wood stove permits in Greenfield.
Apply to Greenfield Neighborhood Services.
Inside the City of Greenfield, permits come from the Department of Neighborhood Services, whose Inspection Services office is in City Hall, Room 203, 7325 W. Forest Home Ave. (414-329-5325). The city’s Permits page puts furnaces, ‘including wood burning supplemental units, stoves and fireplaces,’ under HVAC permits. Contractors must apply online; homeowners can apply online or in person. Chapter 22 of the city code covers solid fuel fired equipment and requires a permit before any heat producing apparatus is installed. Ask whether a new chimney or roof work also needs a building permit.
City of Greenfield: PermitsBackyard fires: clean dry wood, set distances.
Greenfield Code s. 18.15(5) restricts burning of any kind. Yard-waste burning needs a $25 Fire Department permit. Portable fire pits must be listed, sit on a noncombustible surface and stay 10 feet from structures; lined in-ground recreational fires stay 25 feet away and no larger than 3 feet across and 2 feet high. Only clean, dry wood may be burned, and smoke must not become a nuisance. These rules cover outdoor fires, not indoor stoves.
Greenfield Code ch. 18, s. 18.15 (Municode)Doing it yourself? Use the homeowner form.
Greenfield publishes a Homeowner HVAC Permit Application for owners, while contractors must file online. The homeowner form lists fireplace and wood burning stove work, a $60 minimum fee, a $75 reinspection fee and quadruple fees for starting early. City code s. 22.03(1) says the heating contractor obtains the permit, so ask Inspection Services whether you can pull it yourself.
