SUBMIT BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS ONLINE
- We are excited to offer online permit submittals for both standard building permits and express permits. These permit types will no longer be accepted via email. To begin, register for an account in the right hand column under "Create An Account". After creating an account, you will be able to submit the necessary information and documents electronically.
- Visit the Building and Development Services webpage for more information, including worksheets and checklists to assist you with your permit application.

APPLICATION STATUS
- Once an application is submitted, the status can then be tracked when logged into your account. When the permit is ready to be issued, an email will be sent with the invoice and the link to pay. Once paid, your permit will be sent via email within 24 hours.
CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION
- Contractors may now submit their applications for new registrations or renewals online. Please sign in or create an account on this page, and then proceed with the registration process.
- IMPORTANT: Please use the "Search for a Licensed Contractor" function below before submitting a new application. If you are already registered, the search will locate your record and provide your registration information, which will be needed during the renewal process.
