Planning & Community Development

Effective February 1, 2025, there will be an increase in fees for all building permits, trade permits, and permits related to certain planning and zoning regulations within the City. This increase is necessary to ensure that we can continue providing the highest level of service while maintaining the safety, health, and well-being of the community. Thank you for your understanding.
