Who Are We / What We Do
The Building Inspections Division is under the Planning Department and is overseen by the Building Official. With the assistance of the Administrative Assistant and Building Inspectors, the division is responsible for plan reviews, and permitting of various types from temporary structures to high-rise resorts. Being at the front end of development, the staff is cross-trained in multiple areas such as zoning regulations, nuisance abatement, new construction, renovations, fire codes and sign regulations.
