Building Department

The Building Department is responsible for the issuance of permits and inspections for building, concrete, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and signs; zoning enforcement and reviewing site plans.

  • You must obtain a building permit before beginning any new construction or making any structural alterations.
  • Inspections are required after obtaining a building, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permit. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits typically require a rough and final inspection.
