A full-time building assistant provides building permit and inspection scheduling assistance at the front counter and over the phone. Part-time building, electrical, and plumbing inspectors provide construction inspection services. The department contracts with an architectural firm and an engineering firm for plan review services.

The department also handles all planning and zoning matters, including requests for variations, rezoning, special uses, subdivisions, and issuance of certificates of occupancy for new businesses. Informational handouts and various required forms for building permit and zoning processes are available in a stand in the lobby of the Village Hall.
