You do not need a State-level Shoreland Protection permit if you don't need any excavation or filling and will stay within the existing footprint. Please note that if there are decks or porches between the lakeward side of the home and the shoreline the law prohibits closing them in and converting them to enclosed living space. If the home is not on sewer you should check in with the DES Subsurface Systems Bureau to see if you need any type of permitting for the septic system.
