Customer Service Center

The City recently remodeled our permit center to offer a one-stop center where customers can meet and work with staff from Community Development to get projects done on time and on budget with the goal of making sure that we are asking the right questions, meeting our customer's needs, and problem-solving continuously. The best measure of how we perform is when we have helped you succeed.

We identified and implemented process and code changes that make working with us even easier. Every day, we strive to make sure that our customers have:

  • Questions answered
  • Expedited permit processing
  • Customer-service-focused problem solving
  • Competitive fee structures
