The City's Building and Zoning Permits Fee Schedule, approved by the City Council on 11/03/2025, prices "Building valuation fees: (INCLUDES- CONCRETE PROJECTS, DRIVEWAY, PATIO, SIDEWALK, ROOF, PORCH, SIDING, SHED, WINDOWS)" at "Minimum for first $1,000: $75" and "$1,001 to $50,000: $75 + $10 for each additional $1,000", and every permit also pays "an administration fee of $45.00." The department's page says "Before any projects are started a Building/Zoning Permit is required," and that work done without a permit draws a "Civil Municipal Infraction." The building permit application asks for the "Type of Work to be Performed" and the "Estimated Cost of Project", and says "Customer contract with signature and Plot Plan with all existing and proposed building must be submitted with application"; it still prints an older line, "Minimum permit fee is $65.00 (plus non-refundable $45.00 administrative fee)", so confirm the current fee with the department. Applications go to the building department by email, by mail to city hall or in the drop box, and permits can be paid online.
