Department

The responsibility of the Building Department is to ensure that all buildings and structures within Heyville meet or exceed the Building Codes and comply with Land Use Regulations. We provide consultative services to commercial and residential builders and issue necessary permits to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. It is also the responsibility of the Building Department to monitor all building and development projects while under construction and assist in planning and development within the City limits by providing construction plan review, timely issuance of permits and building inspections as well as issue Certificates of Occupancy. Please consult the Building Department before you construct or change use.

The Building Department is here to help you with your project and pride ourselves in providing exceptional internal and external customer service. We provide efficient, responsive and timely issuance of permits as well as inspections. Our staff members are knowledgeable, highly trained and strongly committed to addressing the concerns of Heyville’s growing population.

The Building Department believes that community education is critical to help residents and commercial builders navigate the City’s building codes and requirements.
