Building Applications: Residential

The Community Development Department utilizes an online development application and plan review process through MyGov. The process is designed to increase efficiency, improve customer service, and reduce the number of paper submittals. MyGov also allows for convenient online payment of fees and the attachment of project documents.

Contractors may submit all plans for non-residential or commercial projects through MyGov, however, in certain situations, the City may ask for several hard copies of plans and specifications, including a plot plan.
