Building Department

General

Town of Orchid's building department has the responsibility of issuing building permits and conducting building inspections within the boundaries of the Town. For the review of building permit applications, the issuance of building permits and the inspections, the Town contracts with M.T. Causley, a SAFEBuilt Company, who provides the Town with a weekly visit from a certified Building Official.

During the week, our part-time Building Clerk is happy to be of assistance to any contractors, sub-contractors, and citizens regarding permit and registration questions. In addition to providing the administrative management of the permitting process, the Building Clerk also assists contractors and sub-contractors with annual work registration certificates.  

The Building Clerk's regular hours are daily from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
