CARMI – The City of Carmi reminds residents that building permits are required by ordinance for new construction, remodeling when rooms or porches/decks or garages are being added, yard barns and carports and any time the ground is disturbed such as planting a tree. 

There is no charge for these permits, which help protect City utilities. 

A permit application may be obtained by calling the City Clerk’s office at 618-384-2001.

The City appreciates your cooperation in this matter.
