Building and Development

The City of Grafton's Building and Development division is responsible for overseeing construction-related activities within the community. This includes reviewing and issuing building permits, ensuring that new construction  and renovation projects meet safety and structural standards, and enforcing local building codes and property standards. They help make sure buildings are safe and compliant with regulations, monitor code violations such as unsafe structures or overgrown lots, and work with developers, property owners, and planning agencies to support orderly growth and development within the City's limits. ​
