About Planning and Development Services
With the addition of Building Inspections in November 2005 and Code Enforcement in January 2007, the Planning Department officially became the Planning and Development Services Department on January 1, 2007 to better reflect the scope of services the department provides. With these mergers, the services offered by Planning and Development Services now range from comprehensive planning, current planning, and mapping to building plan reviews, building permits, inspections, and code enforcement.
