The Building Department is located at 1201 North Ave. H in City Hall. Citizens planning to do any construction or remodeling must take out the appropriate permits and, in most cases, have drawings.
The inspector will work with you to ensure your plans are safe and meet current code requirements. The Building Department also makes sure that all minimum housing standards are met and helps upgrade or remove substandard buildings.
If you’re hiring a contractor to do work at your residence, the contractor must pull the permits for the job. All contractors must have have licenses and/or insurance depending on the type of contractor.
