No work is to take place without an issued building permit card posted at the property. Work without a permit will result in a STOP WORK order and TRIPLE the permit fee.

Before You Start Your Project
Before starting any building project, you need to be in compliance with all City, County, State, or Federal regulations pertaining to grading, flooding, drainage, water, sewer, zoning, driveways, and right-of-ways. Be sure to contact City Hall for information about who to contact, possible restrictions, and/or other requirements when planning any construction project. The majority of projects in Fairway are residential and, therefore, must comply with the R-1 zoning standards.
The homeowner is responsible for ensuring that the proper permits are obtained. The owner, contractor, or authorized agent may complete and submit the Building Permit Application.
New Homes, Additions, and Exception requests require Planning Commission approval.
Variances are heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Please note: BZA and PC applications and plans must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the meeting date.
Applying for a BUILDING PERMIT
Applications must be completed in full including Total Construction Value and all contact information including sub-contractors with license numbers. Incomplete applications will delay the processing of the application.
