PERMITTING


See what the pending 2021 code changes could mean for you by clicking this link! The Northwest Building Department Regional Cooperative (NWBRC) has created code update fliers to assist you with the upcoming code changes. 

The goal of the Permit Division is to assist the public by providing an efficient and stream-lined process as well as prompt and courteous service. Permit staff is responsible for maintaining and updating information in order to assist citizens in understanding and applying the permitting regulations provided by the Monroe Municipal Code.
