Who this applies to
Homeowners, contractors, and commercial property owners planning new construction, additions, accessory structures, or renovations that affect structural, electrical, or plumbing systems.
How to apply
Submit the Residential or Commercial Building Permit Application with site plans and project details. Once approved, schedule required inspections online at each stage of construction.
