Zoning permits are required when any structure, sign or use, is erected, enlarged or established in any manner. Zoning permits are also required for any business use within a home residence or a commercial business.
Building permits are required for any new structures, additions, or alterations, and for structural or mechanical repairs. Any changes made to the land’s contours will require a review of the project.
Please check with our Building Department if you are not sure if you need a permit. Forms and information are available at the department counter. If you are submitting a permit that requires Planning Commission approval, it must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the meeting date in order to be placed on the agenda. Permits for ABR must be submitted at least 8 days prior to a meeting date to be placed on an agenda. Resubmittals to ABR are required at least 5 days in advance.
Regarding payment, checks are preferred. However, cash in the exact amount is also accepted.
