Building Plan Approval Process

The City of Chilton provides plan review and approval for one, two and three family residential projects and some commercial projects. The review and approval process is required prior to the issuance of local permits to assure compliance with Municipal and State ordinances, standards and codes.

Plans and permit applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. Review times are based on complexity of the project and the current workload.
