Building Permitting, Plan Review, and Inspection

Building permitting and inspection ensures that all construction undertaken within the city complies with established minimum construction standards. Such oversight maintains public safety standards within our buildings and keeps property values high. Codes administration personnel will review construction plans, issue all applicable permits, and conduct building inspections before approving and issuing certificates of occupancy.

Sign Regulation

Sign regulation helps to maintain and enhance the city’s aesthetic environment and our ability to attract sources of economic development and growth. It also provides for a desirable and attractive living environment through harmonious signage.

Property Maintenance Codes

Property Maintenance Codes ensures that buildings and properties within the city are properly maintained. Those with an appearance which has a blighting effect on a neighborhood are required to be repaired and restored to good condition.
