Are Permits from both the Community Development and Public Works Department needed?
Yes! In many cases, you will need to obtain a permit from both departments, depending on the work planned. The Public Works Department has jurisdiction over all public rights-of-way. Generally, the Community Development Department issues permits for work pertaining to private property such as building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work. Visit both the Public Works and Community Development Departments before commencing any construction work to ensure that you have obtained the proper permits.
