Building Permits

Once a Development Permit is issued, many projects require a Building Permit prior to construction. Building permits and inspections are managed by Professional Building Inspections (PBI) Inc. Building Applications are submitted to PBI to undertake a plan review to ensure the proposed building project meets the standards and regulations of the National Building Code. After the plan review is completed, you will be notified if your project has been approved for issue or if further information and/or revision is required. Once your project is approved for issue, you will be notified of the approval by our office and of the building permit inspection fees.
