Development Services

The Department of Development Services is made up of several divisions, including Building, Permitting, Planning and Zoning, and Code Enforcement.

The Department is responsible for managing Plan Review, Permit Issuance, and Code Inspections for commercial and residential construction and renovation as well as Zoning, Housing, and Nuisance inspections, and issuance of Zoning and Occupancy Certificates.

Since 2019 the City has contracted with SAFEbuilt to provide building and community development related services for the City.
