We are responsible for issuing permits for the construction of all public and private buildings, alterations and additions, pools, garages, etc.   These are followed up with inspections to ensure compliance. 

We also conduct periodic inspections of businesses and buildings where required, issue zoning determinations for proposed businesses and structures and investigate zoning and code-related complaints as required.
