Development Order Application
A Development Order (DO) is the order the City issues once your plans or requests for development have been approved. The Development Order Application is filled out and submitted by the applicant at the time the plans are submitted for review.
Most activity involving new construction, additions, renovations, demolitions, lot clearing, signs, trees, and other site improvements, including accessory structures, requires a DO. Use this form when submitting plans for single-family homes, interior renovations of existing buildings, or small additions to existing commercial, industrial, or multi-family developments. You will also need to submit the Impact Fee Worksheet with the Development Order Application. Please check with our department to see if one is required before you begin.
