Permitting

COVID-19 Update

To protect the health and safety of our staff and customers, and to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19, City Hall Northwest is currently closed to the public. Thank you for your patience and understanding as Development Services adjusts how we provide services. 

Due to the Governor’s March 23, 2020 order, no permits except for those deemed essential will be issued until such time as that order is revised or lifted; you will however be notified when your permit is approved.

You may still be able to conduct your business or receive information one of the following ways:

Permit Center

The Permit Center provides general information for construction in the City limits. Construction permits assure that structures are built to nationally-recognized standards, as well as designed to ensure that buildings are structurally sound and hazard free. Land use permits assure that structures meet zoning requirements and comply with environmental regulations.
