Building permits are issued at the Community Development and Engineering Services Building at 51 Winburn Way. Many simple permits (branch circuits, water heaters, decks, etc) can be applied for and issued at the counter, while larger permits require plans to be submitted and reviewed by a certified plans reviewer on staff. For projects more involved than the simple permits, but not major new construction, an over-the-counter application process is available each Thursday morning. Every Thursday from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM a Planner and Structural plans reviewer are available at the counter to review and issue permits.
