Application Forms
Links to paper applications for permits have been placed on this page for your convenience. Note that paper copies, as well as the online application link (where appropriate, have been provided. We recommend that applicants for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits utilize the online link for access to the Land Development Office software to apply for permits, check on the status of permit issuance, schedule inspections, and to monitor the status of all inspection approvals and Certificate of Compliance issuance.

No work may begin until the permit is issued. You can check the application status by using the Land Development Office software. Search the application by the address of the job. Once the application has been approved, under status you will see the word “issued.” You can print a copy of the permit from the Land Development Office for your records.
