Over-the-Counter Review

Over-the-Counter Review Hours effective 6/20/16:

• The Building Official is available on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and on Wednesday from 8:00 a.m to 9:00 a.m.
• During this time the Building Official is available to answer code questions and review minor residential projects such as kitchen and bathroom remodels over-the-counter.
• Please note that the Building Official's counter hours are subject to change depending on staffing.
• Please contact the office to determine whether or not your project qualifies for an over-the-counter review. (An example of a residential kitchen or bathroom remodel project that does not qualify for an over-the-counter review would be if the property is located in a Flood Zone)
