Steps to Obtain Building Permits
Residential

• All plans must first be approved by the Planning and Zoning Department.
• State laws governing contractors licensing must be adhered to prior to furnishing plans.
• Furnish two sets of engineered plans, along with permit application and a list of subcontractors to the Building Department.
• Allow up to two weeks for review and approval of the plans.
• Upon approval you will be called to pick up the permit. At this time you will take the application to the City Hall Annex building where they will check your business license and take your payment for the permit. (You may also be required to pay for any water / sewer tap fees that may apply to your construction.)
• You will bring your receipt back to the building department and your permit will then be issued.
• You must begin construction within six months of obtaining the permit, after six months if you have failed to start the permit is null and void. At this time you will be required to apply for a new permit.
