Commercial and Multifamily Building

A commercial building permit is required for residential construction involving multi-family projects of three or more units, condominiums, and apartment buildings, as well as non-residential construction, including new construction, remodels, additions, tenant improvements, and changes of use.

The permit is issued when structures are designed in accordance with the building codes and all other applicable codes and ordinances to ensure the safety of the building and its inhabitants.
