Building Permit Processes:

Our office is available by phone and email during regular business hours.

  • Each permit type (building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, etc.) is processed separately. We do issue "blanket permits".

  • Construction drawings, project specifications, licensure, certificates of liability & any other required documentation - should be uploaded to the online system. 
  • Payment for permits - occurs after the initial intake process has been completed. The applicant will receive an email. All payments are required to be made in the online portal. Credit/debit cards & E-checks are accepted.
  • Inspections - Inspection requests for a Building Official, Zoning Official and/or Fire Marshal, should be made through the online system. Inspection results are noted under the inspection tab in the online portal.
  • Receipts for paid permit fees, permits and Certificates of Occupancy, Approval and/or Zoning Compliance - are available in the online portal, under 'Attachments'.

 

To apply for a building permit using the online permit portal, you must first register and create a user account. Information can be saved at each step so you can easily pick up where you left off. Once the permit application is submitted, you can log back into the system at anytime to view its progress under the 'Dashboard' or 'My Work' tabs.

A computer kiosk is available for your use in the Building Department if you do not have access to a computer or would prefer to complete it in person.  Our staff will be happy to assist you and answer any questions that you may have.
