The mission of the Building Inspections & Permits Department is to ensure the safety and welfare of the general public by enforcing structural, building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical code regulations within the City. Enforcement is achieved through plan review prior to the issuance of a permit and on-site inspections after permit issuance to verify compliance throughout the construction process.
It is essential that you contact us before you begin construction to find out if you need a permit. Even if a permit is not needed, we will answer construction questions and may provide valuable advice.

Note: Work that was performed as a result of after-hours emergency situations must be submitted for a permit the next business day.
Inspections are required for all permits issued. Our inspectors will review your project to make sure it was constructed in accordance to the approved plans and current building code standards.
