Building & Planning Department

The Building & Planning Department is the community's resource for building, community planning, and development.

The Livingston Building Department reviews plans and performs inspections using the International Code Council's International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC). These codes are updated and re-adopted approximately every three years.

In order to obtain a building permit, you will need to submit a completed application along with plans and specifications sufficient to determine that the project complies with the effective codes.
