Building Safety
We require full on-line submittal for building permits. Note that fence permits do not require Building Permits so should not be applied for through this portal unless they are masonry or concrete or include a retaining wall. They do require a Fence Permit and and can be submitted online but through the application in the Planning/Zoning section on the right of this page.
To register at our portal, click here: REGISTER Or for more information, go to: ONLINE SUBMITTAL REGISTRATION information
After you have registered, to check on progress of your application or schedule or view inspections, go to: https://orem.cityinspect.com/login
