Building Permits
Building permits help ensure construction is completed safely and meets adopted building codes. Most new construction, additions, remodels and major electrical, plumbing or mechanical work require a permit before work begins. Building permit applications are submitted online through CitizenServe.
Residential vs. Commercial Permits
Residential permits generally apply to homes and residential properties, including single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes and many accessory structures. Common projects include new homes, basement finishes, additions, garages, decks, pools, water heaters and HVAC replacements.
Commercial permits generally apply to businesses, offices, industrial buildings, apartments and other non-residential or multi-family properties. These projects may include new buildings, tenant improvements, remodels, changes of occupancy, signs and commercial electrical, plumbing or mechanical work.
