Welcome to your on-line guide to the Community Development Department. In these pages you will find information regarding building permits, sign permits, zoning regulations, housing programs, building inspections as well as the development review process and how you can participate.

Our department works to ensure that new construction and additions to existing structures meet the policies and guidelines that have been established. We also work with various City commissions that help guide and advise the City Council regarding growth in the City. Many projects that come before the City for review are presented to one or more commission or committee for recommendations to the City Council. Please visit the links to the left to get more information about the various services we provide and to get answers to your questions
