Welcome to the City of Caldwell Department of Building Safety. The department's goal is to provide a safe environment through comprehensive code application to ensure that new and existing buildings and structures are safe. The services we provide are plan reviews of all buildings and structures prior to construction, plan reviews on existing buildings prior to any change in use, permit issuance and inspections to verify plan review requirements are met.

In this site, you will find guidelines and check lists for plan submittal, commercial and residential building permit applications, codes adopted by the city, estimated turn around times, contacts for various departments, fee schedules to help you prepare your documents, and schedules and budgets. We are here to help you so that your construction projects run as smooth as possible. If after you visit this site, you have any questions, please give us a call at (208) 455-3024.
