Our Department consists of the Development Services Director (Tim Porter); Development Services Coordinator (Kristen White); Building Inspectors (Zach Tedford and Tyler Henson); and Code Enforcement Officer (Brian Hinson).

He works closely with the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Historical Preservation Commission, the Building Code Advisory Board, the Board of Adjustment, and City Council on matters related to planning, zoning, and building code enforcement. Kristen White has been with the City of Farmington as the Development Services Coordinator since 2020. She coordinates the inspection schedule with our building inspectors, assists with permit applications, ensures legal compliance for public hearings, attends and prepares agendas and records minutes at meetings, collects fees, oversees the contractor licensing process, and has many other pertinent duties.
