The Building Commissioner and his staff administer and enforce the zoning code in the city corporate limit and the 2-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction around the City of Washington. As Code Enforcement Officer, the Building Commissioner and his staff administer and enforce municipal ordinances in the city corporate limit only. The Code Enforcement Officers do not enforce ordinances within the 2-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction.

The Building Commissioner and his staff permit all new construction, signs, re-roofs, additions, fences, pools, demolitions and storage sheds. See our permits page for more details on those permits and to see a list of improvements that do not require a permit.

The Building Commissioner’s Office administers the City of Washington Sidewalk Replacement Program. This is a program between the city and the resident or business needing a sidewalk replaced. The city removes the sidewalk and preps the area for the city approved contractor to pour a new sidewalk. The labor to the contractor is paid by the applicant and the city pays for the materials. Stop by the office for more information and an application to have your sidewalk replaced.

See our Code Enforcement page for more details on City Code Enforcement.
