BUILDING DEPARTMENT

Building Commissioner

The Building Commissioner issues permits for all development within the City limits.  A building permit grants legal permission to start construction.  To apply for a building permit, an application must be completed in its entirety and submitted to the Building Commissioner. Many minor renovations and/or household repair projects may not require a building permit.  Permits are required for the following:

• Construction of new building- structural additions, alterations and demolitions

• Alarm systems

• Electrical and plumbing installations

• Fences, decks, covered patios, garages and sheds

• Air conditioning systems and fireplaces

• In-ground swimming pools.

Should you have any questions regarding building permits, please contact the Building Department at (708) 798-2616.
