Building permits are required before most interior or exterior improvements are made. This includes roofs, fences, decks, patios, pools, sheds, and other accessory structures. Residents moving into a new home need to obtain an occupancy permit from the Community Development Department prior to moving into the home. Permit review may take up to five weeks; please plan ahead.
