Building Department
We are currently in the process of switching our inspection software to an online portal. This will allow you to access your information online, including what inspections have been completed on your project, access to your building permit, and much more. As we make this transition there will be a learning process, we will inform you more as this software becomes available for use. Thank you for your patience.
