Permits are required when there is new construction to a building as well as some repair work or alteration to an existing structure. In addition, when a building is to be remodeled or enlarged, a permit shall be required. New work consists of any new construction, commercial or residential, from vacant ground to completed new structure.
Projects that are cosmetic, such as new wallpaper, carpet, paint, cabinets or trim work, do not require a permit. Please contact the Building Inspections Department for any questions concerning your specific project.
No. Each permit is a separate action. Since each project is unique, please call our office to determine what permits may be necessary for your project.
Garages, pools, decks, additions, etc. are usually done while you wait if you have all of the necessary paper work. A new house takes about one to two days.
New projects/ multi-family/parking lots or new additions vary depending on factors such as complex design, size, completeness of design documents, other agency approval, etc. Please contact us with specific questions.
Site plan review is required for any proposed development except single family housing. Contact the Planning Department at City Hall.
