Building Inspections

About the Building Inspections Department
The Building Inspections Department is a division of Planning and Development Services tasked with overseeing the building phase of development by reviewing plans, processing permits and performing inspections. The department mission is to ensure that the construction, alteration or maintenance of buildings conforms to recognized standards for building safety and quality of life.

Contractor Registration
All General Contractors are required to register with the City on a yearly basis and pay a fee. Trade contractors who hold a current state license are not required to register with the City but are required to provide information regarding the license holder. Trade contractors are required to a pull separate permit when the work done is only that trade and there is no general contractor.
