Online Permitting

Please remember to pay for your permit once your permit has been submitted online. Once you submit your application, Permits and Inspections will review your permit and approve it; you will receive an e-mail stating that your permit is ready for payment. The permit must be paid for within 3 days of e-mail receipt. A permit has not been issued until payment has been received by Permits and Inspections and you have received an official receipt. If payment has not been made within 5 days of permit approval, an inspector will visit the job site to be sure work has not begun; if work has begun a STOP WORK ORDER will be placed and additional fees will be assessed.
