Why Building Permits?
- Why are permits Required?
- Safety is the primary reason for requiring permits. City Inspectors
check to make sure construction and installations are proper for the
protection of your family and property, your neighbors, and buyers of
your property.
- Where do I get permits?
- At the Building & Safety Dept., Room 203 (2nd floor), County-City
Building, 555 South 10th Street. If you're having a contractor do your
work, the contractor can obtain the necessary permits, but you should
check to make sure the contractor has done so.
- What do I bring to get a building permit?
- In general you need two copies of a site plan (see fig. 1 below) and
two copies of the building plans (see fig. 2, 3, & 4) The building plans
should include:
- the type of construction
- elevation
- window sizes
- sizes and uses of new and existing rooms
