What is a Fax/Mail-in Permit?
Download the permit application from our website and fill it out, including your payment method at the bottom of the form. Fax or mail the permit to the Building Division. It takes 24 to 48 hours to process your permit. When issued we can either mail the permit to you or we can leave it in will-call for you to pick up. The permits that can be done by fax or mail-in are: – Re-roof permits – Residential water heater installation/replacement – Residential furnace installation/replacement – Electrical service upgrade – Sewer repairs to residential properties. If you are replacing the sewer in a public right-of-way you will need to obtain an encroachment permit from the Public Works Department.
