Building & Inspections

The Department of Planning and Development’s building division is responsible for all plan reviews, inspections, and enforcement of the building code of all Class I and Class II structures in accordance with Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 675. The building division seeks to serve the citizens of Noblesville by providing accurate, appropriate guidance and consultation through the plan review and inspection processes.

The building division reviews and inspects residential projects such as new home construction, additions, remodels, accessory structures, swimming pools, and other similar projects. All commercial projects such as new commercial buildings, additions to commercial buildings, tenant finishes, commercial remodels, commercial swimming pools, and other similar projects are also reviewed and inspected.

All current, adopted codes of the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission are enforced by the building division. Please refer to the resources posted below for additional information about a current or upcoming project.

Moving forward with a project is easy!  All of the City's permit applications are submitted using our online permit portal. 

All submitted documents must be reviewed and approved before any construction begins. The specific building plan documents required for each permit type can be found by clicking the Building Permit Submittal Requirements link at the top of the page or by visiting the Citizen Permit Portal and selecting a specific permit type.  

For specific questions about project regulations or the permitting process, please call the Department of Planning and Development at (317) 776-6325 to contact a building division staff member.
