What is the procedure if I want to build a new house or an addition to an existing house?

All projects for a new construction or an addition to an existing house must be approved by the City Council. First, a building plan of the project, drawn to scale, and a site plan must be submitted to the Town Planning and Permits Division which will forward them to the Planning Advisory Committee. This committee will then make recommendations to the City Council for the approval or rejection of the project. If the project is approved, the Town Planning and Permits Division may issue a permit.
