Applying for Permits

The Building Permit Application (PDF) should be completed prior to beginning any new construction or renovations. You can also obtain the form in person from City Hall. If you require assistance in completing the form, contact the City Code Enforcement Officer who can provide assistance. Please either email or deliver the form to City Hall.

When all construction and inspections are complete, apply for the Certificate of Occupancy. An application form can be obtained from City Hall at 100 S. Houston Street.
