Permit Fees

Builders

Is there a utility account set up for your project?  If not, please go here and download an application. There is a requirement for a minimum of a  1" meter for the fire sprinkler. Please check with the utility department after there is an established utility account and verify if you need to purchase a 1" meter. There is often a wait time for the installation and it is better to get this taken care of at the start of the project.
