Building & Planning

We are a community focused department that facilitates investment in the city in order to create a well-designed, safe, and sustainable community that enhances the overall quality of life for our residents, business owners and visitors.

Permitting

This is all part of the City's dedication to improving transparency and streamlining the permitting process.
