Approval Process

• Review Process: After submission, the building department will review your application and plans. This involves checking for compliance with building codes, zoning laws, and safety regulations. You will be notified when your permit is approved and ready for issuance, as well as given instructions on how to schedule an inspection. We aim to review permits as quickly as possible, however, please budget for 7-14 days in your building project for reviewing and processing a permit application.

• Permit Issuance: If everything meets the necessary requirements, the building department will issue your permit. They may also provide additional instructions or conditions that must be met during construction.

• Receive the Permit: Once your permit is approved, you will receive an official building permit. Make sure to keep it on-site at all times during construction, as it might need to be shown during inspections.

• Display the Permit: If it is a major remodel, addition, or new building, you are required to clearly post the permit on the property in a visible location (e.g., near the front of the building or construction site) for the duration of the project. This helps ensure inspectors can easily verify that a valid permit exists.
