Do I need a local permit to install a patio within the wetland buffer?

Whether you need a permit will depend on what material you plan to make your patio out of. If you are not altering or removing soils or vegetation, and installing pervious patio pavers, you will not be required to get a permit. If your patio is going to be impervious (i.e. made of poured concrete), or you will need to remove vegetation to install the patio, you will need a CUP.
