The Permit Processing and Inspection Program provides City permitting functions at a One-Stop Permit Center, including public information, application review and acceptance, routing, fee collection, and issuance of all permit applications. This program manages the review of plans for work being performed within city limits to ensure compliance with required standards and regulations. The program also provides daily inspections of construction, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work at job sites to ensure all work conforms to current code requirements.
The Building Department office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Please note the Permit Center closes at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays for staff training. Please note City Hall is closed on Fridays and all legal holidays.
