The Building Services Division administers the building permit process for both residential and commercial construction. This is a fundamental process for ensuring the protection of life and property. The permit process begins with the ONLINE submittal of construction documents which are reviewed for compliance with applicable building codes and standards. Approved projects are issued a building permit allowing construction to begin. The division also conducts field inspections to monitor compliance.

   

To verify if you need a permit or for more information, please consult our Permits page or contact Building Services.

For permit fee amounts, please reference our Permit Fee Schedule.
