Virtual Permit Center

Community Development offers virtual permit center meetings allowing customers the ability to schedule one-on-one online time with staff for assistance with general permitting, land use, and development questions. For permit applications and general questions, please visit our Permits page. For customers with further questions, virtual permit center meetings can be scheduled directly with the service group you are interested in based on your project.

If you’re unable to accommodate a virtual meeting, you’re still welcome to stop by our office at 1 E. Main St, on the second floor.

Things to Know Before Scheduling

Virtual permit center meetings will be scheduled for 20 minutes. 

  • Meetings are being offered to provide additional options for customers with general questions about requirements and the permit process.  

Virtual permit center meetings are not consultations of existing permits. 

  • For customers with questions about an existing project that has a permit number, please contact the assigned reviewer directly by checking the permit status at MyBuildingPermit.com.

Virtual permit center meetings are intended for general questions about land use, development, and the permit process. 

  • For customers seeking individualized review of project plans, the city's Pre-Application Conference process (PDF) will provide detailed guidance on requirements associated with a specific project in advance of submitting application.

Permits will not be issued as a result of a virtual permit center meeting. 

  • For customers ready to submit an application following the virtual permit center meeting, permit applications can be submitted at MyBuildingPermit.com
