Building Permits & Inspections

All development in City limits must be approved by the City before permits can be issued.
Plans can be submitted in person to the City Planner located at City Hall or electronically to cityplanner@mymonticello.net. 

**All development within the City Historic District, including material changes to existing structures, must go before the Historic Design Review Board**

The Monticello Planning Agency shall review all applications for special exceptions, variances, zoning changes, all site plans, subdivision preliminary plats, and all applications for approval of planned unit developments (PUD), including concept plans and final development plans, and submit recommendations thereon to the City Council.

Once approval is given, plans will be sent to the Jefferson County Building and Planning Department for permitting.

Building Permit and Inspection Services are provided through the Jefferson County Building Department, which is responsible for:   

• Issuing building permits
• Issuing certificate of occupancy permits
• Reviewing building, electrical and plumbing plans
