Permits
A lot grading, development, building and all subtrade (electrical, plumbing and gas) permits are required to construct multi family dwellings.
Please note: Every dwelling unit will require a separate set of building and sub trade permits. If the development spans over multiple lots, separate development and lot grading permits may be required.
Step 1: Apply
Complete a Residential Permit Application. This package allows you to submit one application when applying for all the required permits. There is no requirement to apply for all at one time, however to minimize wait time, we do suggest applying for all permits at once.
Here are plans that have the detail required to meet submittal requirements:

Detailed fee's are identified in the application package.
Step 2: Approval
Once a complete application is received, all permits will be issued within 2- 5 business days.
If a variance is required, timelines may extend up to 25 days.

You may begin construction once you have received all required permits. Below is contact information you may need for ground work and utilities.
