This is an application to be granted permission for temporary trailers, fences, loading areas, sales centers, or parking for construction/land development purposes.  This permit is good for two years. 

Please follow this order of events:

TIP: This permit can not be used to secure vacant land, unless you've already been approved to build on that land.  This application used to be called a Temporary Use Permit (TUP), but is now referred to as a Temporary Occupancy Permit (TOP).  This is not an application for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP - Zoning), or a "Temporary Use on Vacant Land".  The TUP applies to activating vacant properties for temporary uses such as structures, tents, kiosks, temporary exhibition areas, and other similar uses which deal in the areas of food, arts, vocation, culture, and entertainment.

You will be asked for the below items on your application:

NOTE: Site Plans must show the dimensions of the lot, they must specify the entrances and exits including the dimension (measurements) of the gate, they must show the location of portable toilets, and identify the names/street address of all surrounding streets.  If the request is for the placement of a trailer, site plan must specify if the trailer will have stairs or ramps as well as the measurements of the trailer

The fee for a TUP is $503.50.

We will review your application. If all the necessary information is included, you will receive an invoice via email.

You may hear from us with a need for additional information. If so, please answer any required questions. Once all requirements have been met, you will receive approval via email. 

NOTE: You will need this document when you apply for your subsequent building permit (for your sales center, fence, etc.).
