The Building Permit and Inspection Division supports the City’s building community in the following ways:

  • Create value-added service – The division’s processes should facilitate and enhance the private construction investments being made in the community
  • Develop and organize for optimal performance – The division will cooperate with other City departments to ensure timely review of applications and completion of construction projects
  • Enhance the department service – Strict, yet fair, enforcement of building codes protects each individual’s property value and investment in the community
  • Increase commercial development – Streamlined processes facilitate timely development that benefits the city’s tax base and creates jobs for residents
  • Uphold Life and Safety – providing expert inspection and services to the community by employing certified employees
  • Shelter is one of your most basic needs as human beings. But needing shelter doesn’t mean you can build wherever, whenever, however, and by whomever you want. In most cases you need a building permit. Building permits are essential to ensure your design/project is following the locally adopted codes, state regulations, and/or federal law.
