Building Permits & Inspections

You need a building permit for anything that would change the footprint of your home or property.  Examples would be fences, decks, garages/sheds (even if you bring in a pre-made building).  The fee for the building permits is based on the cost of the project.  Demolition permits are required also, but no cost for the permit.  There are no permits required for inside work or for shingles, siding or windows (unless it is an egress window).  The permit information on set backs and height requirements is located with our ordinances.  

Once the zoning application is approved by the planning commission; the city council will approve/deny at their next city council meeting.

To obtain a permit for both residential and commercial uses, simply download the forms below (if available) or give us a call and we will be happy to provide you with the necessary forms.
