Permit Center
Important information about processing delays
We are currently experiencing a high volume of requests for permits and are about 10-15 days delayed in our initial electronic processing. Should you need to apply for a permit or submit plans earlier than our estimated time frame, please bring in your submittal to our permit center during our open hours of 9-1pm (12:30pm for new submittals) Monday through Thursday and a permit technician will either issue or if it is a submittal, take in your submittal right away. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.The Permit Center is a “one-stop” location in City Hall for the review of development projects and building plans. Representatives from Planning, Building, Engineering, Landscape and the Fire Department are on hand to answer questions and assist you with your project.
Building, Planning and Non-Construction permits, handouts, forms and more.
