BUILDING & ZONING

BUILDING PERMITS - INSPECTION REQUEST - CITY CODES

Start HERE

Step 1: Contact your local building officials!

Blanding Building officials and Public works can do a preliminary look at your idea to make sure it's viable, and clear potential problems. 

Step 2: Create an account and apply for a building permit

Blanding City uses an online program that streamlines building permits, plan reviews and inspection requests for the builder and connects them with our departments for approval. Blanding City requires a building permit for all new home construction or if any structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical changes or additions will be made. Completing a building permit application is the first step in obtaining a permit. No more paperwork, everything you need is on your phone, tablet or computer.
*All builders and contractors will be required to create an account  

Step 3: Utility Connection Request 

Blanding's Public Works Department provides the city with all of its power, water, natural gas, and sewer needs. To connect your build to utility services, complete the New Construction Utility service request. 

Step 4: Encroachment and other Permits

An encroachment permit is required to perform installation of trenching for utility pipelines, cable, conduit, water and sewer lines, landscaping work including fencing, weed and tree removal, planting in the right-of-way, and construction access. Permission to access City property for any of these activities is obtained by the application of an encroachment permit.
