Permits
Permits are essential to ensure that construction, business operations, and public activities meet safety standards, protect community well-being, and comply with local laws. They help support responsible development in our city.
NEW! Online Permit Application Portal
In September 2024 the City launched a brand-new permit application portal for online plan review, permit applications, and payments.
On September 18, users will have access to a modern, user-friendly, web-based system that improves the ease of working with the building inspection division.
