Applications are required to be submitted online through a MyGovernmentOnline customer portal. Applicants must create a user account to apply for permits and contractor licenses.
Building permits also require the submission of plans and possibly other supporting documents. Please review the application requirements that are applicable to your project before submitting your application.
Step 1 – Application Submittal
Completed applications are submitted to Planning and Community Development Department using an online portal (See MyGovernmentOnline)
Step 2 – Review Process
A plan reviewer will determine if your project complies with all building codes, engineering requirements, zoning regulations, and city ordinances.
Step 3 – Permit Approval
You will receive a notification that your application is approved. Upon receipt of the permit fee, your permit will be automatically issued, permitting you to legally begin construction. Your work must proceed as was approved in the review process. Once all required inspections have passed, a certificate will be issued and the project will close.
For commercial projects, you are required to post the permit in a window or other prominent place at the construction site and keep a copy of the approved building plans at the site. Please note, commercial plan review can take up to four weeks.
Bring any proposed changes to the attention of the building official immediately. Changes may require another review and approval in the same manner as the original application.
