Building Division
The Building Division's day-to-day work focuses on reviewing compliance with the Building Code to ensure that buildings are built and remodeled to meet life and safety requirements. The Building Division also works with the Police and Fire Departments to enforce standards to protect the public welfare and to improve property values through the enforcement of nuisance abatement and other municipal codes.

Planning and Building Division staff work together to help permit applicants to identify land use development design or use options that implement the laws the community has created for itself. The Department’s goal is to continually improve our efficiency and effectiveness in our charter to help each resident, property and business owner through the permitting and design process.  We want to help make the applicant’s construction and/or development idea a reality and encourage your input on how we can improve our service to you balanced with the interests of the community as a whole.
