What to expect when applying for Residential Building Permits -

• Permitting staff will assist in clarifying any issues that may arise during the brief completeness review at intake to expedite the processing of your application.
• Incomplete applications can not be accepted. A Permit Coordinator and a Plans Examiner, when available, will go over your application to ensure that it is complete.
• Payment for plan review is required at time of submittal and can be made with check, cash or money order. Sorry, credit and debit cards are not accepted.
• Some applications for repairs or simple projects may be issued over the counter, while you wait (i.e. mechanical or reroofing). Other applications typically require a more extensive review.
• When your plans have been approved and the permit is ready to be issued you will be notified by phone.
• Please refer to the Property Development Process handout to learn more about this process.
  

Payment of permit fee is required in full at the time of permit issuance. You can call ahead for final payment amounts. Feel free to ask questions of the permitting Staff at any time. We are happy to help you understand the process.
