Temporary Structure Permits

A Temporary Use Permit is required for certain temporary structures and uses associated with construction or commercial activities.

Temporary structures commonly include trailers located on construction sites that function as sales, leasing, or marketing offices for a subdivision or development.

The Temporary Use Permit is processed through the Administrative Permit application, which also covers several related temporary uses such as swimming pools and temporary classrooms.
