Building Safety
We require full online submittal for building permits. Fence permits do not require Building Permits so should not be applied for through this portal unless they are masonry or concrete or include a retaining wall.
They do require a Fence Permit and and can be submitted online but through the application in the Planning/Zoning section on the right of this page.
