Opening, expanding or remodeling a business in Bloomington? Before construction begins or you move into a commercial space, make sure you know whether your project requires a building permit.

Many commercial improvements, remodels, occupancy changes and other alterations require permits and inspections. These reviews help ensure your space meets building, fire, plumbing, mechanical, electrical and accessibility codes.

Getting the required permits before work starts can help you avoid unexpected costs, project delays and disruptions to your opening schedule. Even if the space was previously occupied by another business, permits may still be needed depending on the work being completed or how the space will be used.

The City is committed to helping businesses succeed. If you have questions, City staff are ready to guide you through the permitting process and help keep your project on track.
