Our staff will review your application for accuracy and completeness, calculates the required fees, then email you a link to pay your permit fees. Once payment is received, you'll get a receipt with your permit number, which you should use in all communications about the permit. If revisions are needed, you'll receive a comment letter via email. Resubmittals will follow the same process using the Resubmittal, Deferred Submittal, Revision Application.

Once approved, you'll receive your approved plans and Building Permit Card by email. Print these documents and have them available on-site for inspections. Do not begin your project without them to avoid fines.

If your project takes longer than expected, you can request a Building Permit Extension. 

All issued permits require an inspection during and/or after the work.
