Notice: Due to an overall reduction in staff there will be a limit of 10 permits accepted per day from any one applicant/company. There is a further reduced staff level from 12:00 Noon until 2:00 p.m. daily due to County Administrative policy which requires staff to take their assigned lunch break during these hours. The Building Official is available by APPOINTMENT ONLY or by referral from staff. Please conduct your initial consultation with staff.
2010/2011 Goals and Objectives
- Continue staff training to promote a consistent level of excellent customer service.
- Continue to cross-train staff in order to enhance consistency in application of the codes.
- Continue educational programs for licensed/certified staff by selecting relevant courses. This will keep staff updated on new laws, codes, and construction practices, while complying with the state continuing education requirements for maintenance of certification.
- Develop new and enhance existing policies which apply to specific situations that the codes do not directly address in order to promote consistency and fairness in the enforcement of the codes.
- Promote consumer protection by preventing unlicensed activity through the enforcement of the citation ordinance.
- Modernize our operations in order to provide remote access to our services, and to provide simpler, easier, and quicker “over-the-counter” processing of permit applications.
- Review all permit applications within a reasonable time limit.
- Conduct all inspections within a reasonable time limit.
