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 third party vendors. Plan review and inspections are conducted on a biweekly basis - Tuesdays and Thursdays. Throughout each week, our part-time Building Clerk is happy to be of assistance to any contractors, sub-contractors, and citizens regarding permit and inspection questions. 

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