The Development Process

Development in Paris is regulated to promote the health, safety, welfare, and protection of property investments of current and future citizens.

Every project must:

  2. Be on a properly PLATTED lot;
  3. Have a valid SITE PERMIT and/or BUILDING PERMIT;
  4. Be INSPECTED during construction; and,
  5. Receive a CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
