Permit Center
Due to the increased volume of permit applications, our workload has significantly increased. We do not have a definite time frame of when permits will be ready for issuance. Plans are reviewed in the order they are received, and the plans examiners are reviewing as quickly as they can.
The Permit Center receives, processes and issues permits for Building, Fire Code, Public Works and Planning/Land Use. Should you have any questions regarding these permit types or applications, please contact the Permit Center:
