Apply for a Permit or Request an Inspection

Currently, due to the high volume of inspection requests, Building Code Enforcement and the Fire Marshal's Office are experiencing a backlog of up to three (3) days from the requested date of an inspection until the performed date. If an occupied residence is scheduled for an inspection, please note a number on the inspection request that the inspector should call prior to arriving. This will prevent a homeowner from waiting at the residence for the inspector to arrive. Your patience in this matter is greatly appreciated.

To apply for a new permit select “Permit Application” in the left margin. Select the permit category & type, then follow the process to submit an application. Once the permit has been issued, select “Schedule Inspection” in the left margin. Examples of permits available online are:

1. Residential & Commercial Buildings and their Accessory Structures
2. Electric, HVAC, Gas and Plumbing Permits
3. Temporary Use & Special Event Permits
4. Sign Permits
5. Zoning Compliance for New Businesses
6. Fire Prevention, Daycare & Foster Homes

Submit Plans for Development Projects

To submit development plans select “Create Project” selection in the left margin. Select the project type and follow the process to submit. For revised plans, select “My Projects” in the left margin and follow the process to resubmit. Examples of projects available online are:
