Building Department

The Building Department issues building permits and is responsible for inspecting all commercial and residential construction within the city limits. Our purpose is not only to safeguard life, health, and property and to promote public welfare but also to make Pelham a better place to reside and to locate your business. This is accomplished through dialogue and enforcement when necessary.
