Permits
A building
permit is required in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of
the public. It does so by providing the means for City officials to review
the project design and to inspect the construction for minimum standards
as required by the adopted Building Code and the City Code.
A building
permit is required for new construction, additions, alterations,
renovations, relocations, and repairs or rehabilitation of a building or
structure. Some minor repairs do not require a permit. Electrical,
mechanical and plumbing permits may also be required.
A building
permit may be obtained at the Public Works Office Building located at 401
