Building permit payment

Building permit fees can be paid with cash, check, e-check, or major credit card.

A Service Fee will soon be applied to credit card transactions to cover processing costs. Service fees are valuable tools to help the City operate more efficiently and create a better customer experience. If you prefer not to pay a 'Service Fee', various self-serve payment methods are still available. Additionally, you can utilize more traditional payment methods, such as ACH (where accepted), checks, or money orders which can be mailed or submitted in person. Thank you for understanding.

Pay building permit fees online

If you have a building project working its way through the approval process of plan review, construction and inspection, paying fees online may be a convenient service for you or your business.

The following are typical points in a building permits life cycle when fee payment may be necessary:

Application submission
Permit issuance
Permit extension
Permit renewal
Permit re-inspection
Permit estimate release
After hours inspection scheduling
Emergency inspection scheduling
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy issuance

Note: In order to make a payment online, outstanding fee line items must be paid in full.
