Building Permits

Development Engineering is responsible for reviewing a wide range of Building Permits.  Some of the various Building Permit types include:

  • Multi-Family Residential
  • Single-Family Residential
  • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)
  • Detached Garage’s
  • 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 Forms” quick link for these same forms.
