Building Construction Permits & Inspections
Whether your project is part of a larger development project or is a stand-alone building, your project is important to us. When plans are required, we are here to ensure that they comply with the most recently adopted codes and regulations. The Building Plans Examiner will assist you through the permitting process and will coordinate with other City staff to ensure your plans are approved according to codes as efficiently as possible.
Planning & Plan Submittal
Most building permit applications require some level of plan submittal for review to ensure compliance. We recommend a short meeting before incurring expenses to make sure we are all on the same page. Simply call or email to discuss your project or set up a meeting. We are eager to sit down with you and get your project moving.
Site & Construction Plan Submittal
Commercial Building Plan Submittal
Timing is everything! Our goal is to contact you within 10 days of receiving your plans for any revisions necessary prior to approval. The quicker you get any revisions to your plans back to staff, the quicker you can receive your building permit!
Building Permit Instructions
The permit expires if the work authorized is not commenced within six months of the date of issue or if work is abandoned or suspended for a period of 6 months. If an extension is required, submit your request in writing indicating the reason for the delay in the completion of the project. Keep in mind that a structure cannot be occupied until a Certificate of Occupancy is issued or a final inspection is approved.
