Building & Zoning

The Community Development Department's Building Division oversees building permits and code enforcement.

Building Permits – required by code for all work, and code are processed and coordinated efficiently with staff.  The Instant Permit Program, established in 2000, allows homeowners to receive a permit in one short appointment for smaller home improvement projects.

Zoning Regulations – Enforcement of all building and property maintenance codes is performed by a team of professionally trained inspectors.  Ares of inspection include, new construction, redevelopment, new business licenses, rental housing, annual commercial/industrial, commercial/industrial pre-sale and property maintenance complaints.

In addition, Community Development oversees the Residential Rental Inspection program.  A Housing Manual that identifies the procedures, codes, standards and requirements for all sites is available to property owners by clicking here.

The Community Development Director is John Berley.
