Building Department Mission Statement

We believe the residents of Zion and developers alike are entitled to professional, efficient, and accurate guidance from trained professionals in the areas of planning, construction, renovation, and demolition of any and all property within the City.

We are committed to providing such assistance to residents and our fellow professionals in a courteous and timely manner. Therefore, the mission of the Building Department shall be to provide knowledge and service regarding local, state, and federal building codes and standards in a manner which supports our commitment to the safety of our residents and to the integrity of the Department.

We willingly participate in a program of continuing education and testing in order to keep our staff informed of the latest techniques and requirements within the building trades industry, as well as customer service and computer literacy.

In our performance of these duties, we will bear witness to the realization of our mission and thereby warrant the respect engendered to our department as professionals within the community we serve.
