Divisions

The Development Services Department comprised of the two major divisions of Land Development and Building Development is responsible for assisting customers through the development process.  This process includes reviewing, permitting, inspecting and granting authority to develop land and occupy buildings within the City.  More specifically, the department is responsible for subdivision mapping / parcel addressing, zoning administration, subdivision administration, building code administration, landscaping, tree preservation, sign regulation, and development reviews of drainage and traffic.

The Department also provides administrative and technical support to boards and commissions that review issues on land development and construction regulations.  These boards include the Board of Adjustment, Building and Fire Board of Appeals, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical, and Zoning and Planning Commissions.

In addition to protecting the health, safety, and public welfare through regulation of land development and construction, the Department seeks to provide an efficient and effective development process that supports City growth and economic development.
