BUILDING PERMITS

Development Engineering is responsible for reviewing a wide range of Building Permits. Some of the various Building Permits include:
 
  • Multi-Family Residential
  • Single-Family Residential
  • Accesory Dwelling Units (ADU)
  • Detached Garages
  • New Commercial Properties
  • Infills
  • Signs
  • Pools
 
We have various tools that can help with your Building Permit process and speed up the review process so you can get going on construction. Development Engineering follows standardized checklists when reviewing plans. These forms act as a guide and do not ensure approval from Development Engineering during the first review. See the "Development Engineering Form" section below for these forms.
