Improvement Location Permit Applications
An Improvement Location Permit (ILP) is a zoning approval necessary prior to the alteration, change, enlargement, placement, erection or location of any building, structure, improvement, or sign. Single-family and two-family residential development does not require an ILP. Building Permits for single-family and two-family residential can be obtained directly from the Building Department. Most non-residential permits are administered by the Building Department and processed by the County Zoning Administrator and Planning & Zoning staff through the Plan Review process, except for signs, telecommunications towers, and temporary tent/trailer/accessory uses. Those last three types are processed in the unincorporated portions on the County by the County Zoning Administrator and Planning & Zoning staff through the online permit applications below.
