The Building Division helps the public obtain the required permits for construction.
Many structures fall within the categories overseen by the permit system. Projects range from retaining walls, carports and garages, to storage buildings, residences, multiple dwelling units, commercial buildings, bulkheads, shoreline construction, remodeling, additions, manufacted homes and park trailers just to name a few.The Building Division reviews applications in order to ensure the proposed projects meet building codes. The Building Division inspects construction to assure consistency to the scope of the permits. The Building Division also provides the public with advice and written materials on the permitting process and requirements of the adopted building code.
The permitting system and building code act in concert to protect the safety of homeowners and the public. Permits allow county personnel to inspect construction to make sure it meets code.
