COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS

Before purchasing a commercial building permit, the plans MUST BE REVIEWED BY THIS OFFICE. A building inspector and a fire inspector will review these plans to work out any problems in meeting State codes before any work can begin. This may take several days. We require two (2) sets of plans of the project and there is a fee for this review. Please see chart below. Once you have approval from the inspectors, you may begin the process of getting a building permit. Please see this process on the page "How Do I Get A Building Permit."
