Applications for Permits

Contractors are recommended to submit all permit applications, and plans for review via email. All attachments must be in PDF format. We are experiencing a higher amount of emails than usual due to this process. We appreciate your patience at this time and will be back in touch as soon as possible. All requests will be handled on a first-come/first-served basis. If you need to submit plans in person please use the drop box available in front of the Customer Service Center located at 817 Ohio Ave.

Any emailed requests received when the office is closed will be processed on the soonest available business day. Please note, the Building Department is closed for all city recognized holidays.
