Storm Damage Permits

Storm damage permits
City permits and inspections are required for all storm-related repairs such as repairing roofing, siding, meter and mast. This is for your protection when working with contractors, as well as helpful in maintaining the value of your property.

Due to the large number of homes damaged during 2008's summer's storms, some property inspections were delayed over the winter for safety reasons. For more information about permits, and to ensure your repairs and replacements have been inspected, please contact the city at (952) 924-2588.
