Building Services Forms

The City of Norfolk is excited to announce we are moving to an online application to manage our permitting process.  This new online application will eventually be an all-encompassing application which will allow online access to your permit and inspection statuses and reports. This is a large endeavor and while you will be able to apply for certain permits in the new online application, you will continue to apply for others using the forms below.  We will use multiple means of communication to inform you of these changes.  The links below send you to the new application (Connect Portal) as the different permits become available in the new application.  We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we are bringing this new application online.

Some forms have an "EMAIL" button to send the completed form to Building Services.  Unfortunately, for security reasons, modern browsers no longer provide this Email function. Please save the completed form and attach it to an email message, to permits@norfolkne.gov, along with a PDF copy of any required plans. Include the project address in the email subject line.

Adobe Reader has several options to sign a form, the simplest one is using the Commenting pencil tool to sign the form using your mouse or other pointing device. Please Note - Press the "ESC" key after using the pencil tool to return to entering form fields.

These forms work best with Adobe Reader XI. You can use a previous version of Adobe Reader but some features may not work correctly.

Issued permits need to be paid for and picked up at the Building Services office, at the address listed on the form, prior to any work being performed.
