The Building Department reviews and issues building permits. The Building Department works with new homeowners and long-time residents
interested in building a new home, or making alterations to an existing one, as
well as people wishing to do commercial construction and alterations, including
change in occupancy. Our staff will work with you to help make the building
permit and certificate of occupancy (C.O.) process as simple as possible. Prior to submitting a building permit, please call the Building Department to schedule an appointment.
