How to Apply for a Permit


Before you Apply

  1. Please visit the Permits page or the Trade and Irrigation page to learn about the documents required for the type of permit you wish to apply for.
  2. If the permit you wish to apply for requires a site plan, you will need to acquire a survey or plat of the property and draw the proposed location of the addition, shed, pool, or etc. showing dimensions to the property lines.
  3. Be sure to to fill out the building application form, the trade application form, or a trade affidavit as applicable, and include it with the documents for your online application.  If a trade affidavit needs to be associated with an existing permit, it can't be submitted on line.  You can stop by the office or send an email to the Building Department to submit.  Please note that a trade affidavit must be notorized.
  4. Before submitting an application for the first time, you must set up an online account . (see How to Create an Acccount for instructions). If you are a contractor, please contact the Building Department to verify we have a record set up for your company.  Once you (contractor) create your online account, notify the City to link your account to the company record.
