    Demolition Permit

    Applicants wishing to remove a building/structure from a property or demo the interior must first obtain a Demolition Permit. A demo permit is required for the demolition of any structure or building regardless of whether it is a commercial or a residential property. A building demo permit requires the removal of all construction materials from the job site. The site must be left free of debris and be level within the boundaries of the property. A demo permit does not authorize work located in the right-of-way such as, "sidewalks, driveways, curbs, or accessibility ramps".

    Permits

    • Step 1 Plumbing Permit: A Plumbing Permit shall be purchased to disconnect all sewer, water, and gas supply lines connected to the building/structure being demolished. The plumber must have these utilities disconnected from the city source, capped off, inspected, and finalized by the Building Inspector before issuing a Demolition Permit.
    • Step 2 Electrical Permit: If the power lines are still connected to the structure, an Electrical Permit must be purchased to remove them before the Demolition Permit can be issued. This permit will be inspected and approved by the City Building Inspector.
    • Step 3 Asbestos Survey: Commercial structures require proof of an asbestos inspection from a state-certified third-party inspector or letter from the Architect or Engineer before a Demolition Permit can be issued. Proof of the asbestos inspection must be provided to the Building Official before issuing the demo permit.
    • Step 4 Applying for the Demolition Permit: When all requirements have been completed, a Demolition Permit will be issued.

    Demolition Permit Fee: $50
