COVID 19 UPDATE: For the health and safety of the public and our staff the Department of Building Safety will be implementing contactless methods for permit submittals. We ask that all permit submittals be turned in on our permit drop off shelf located in our lobby. Our preferred method of payment is via credit card through our website. Once a permit has been paid the permit pack will be placed on our permit pick up shelves located in our lobby. 1/11/21
