Building Permits

Mask use inside City facilities

Mask wearing is strongly recommended for all visitors and staff inside all City facilities (City Hall, Peek Service Center, UP Public Library, Waste Transfer Station).  For your safety and employee safety, masks and hand sanitizer products are available inside all City facilities. 

The Community Development Department is responsible for enforcing the currently adopted building codes and ordinances of the City of University Park.  The department reviews all commercial and residential building requests.   Most new construction, remodeling, and additions require building permits.  The following links will help you determine if your project requires a permit, the necessary plans to obtain a permit, the permitting and inspection process, and any other requirements for your project.  If you are still unable to find the information you need for your particular project, please contact the Community Development Department at 214-987-5411.
