Building Permits Moving Online Starting April 7To provide a convenient way for residents and contractors to apply for permits and track their progress toward approval without a trip to City Hall, the Building Department will be launching an online permit portal on April 7. This process will allow you to submit permit applications, accompanying documents and payments to the City online and will streamline the process for City staff to review permits. From April 2 through April 7, the Building Department will be implementing this switch to online permitting and will be temporarily unable to accept building permits. Please hold onto all permit applications until April 7. For more information, visit the City's website. Thank you for your patience as we move to this new online system. |
