For building a new residence, a submittal checklist is available to assist you in determining what kinds of documentation will be required. If you are altering an existing residential structure, we have a submittal checklist to help you too. Commercial projects have their own unique requirements. Please consult the commercial construction checklist prior to submitting your plans. Once you have prepared all the required documents, you must submit those documents at the Permit Center. At the time of submittal, you should be prepared to provide the following:

  • Location of the project (street number and name) and Assessor's Parcel Number (APN)
  • Legalowner's name, mailing address, and daytime telephone number
  • Contractor's name, license number, and type of license
  • Description/Narrative of your project
  • Cost of all the proposed work (labor andmaterials)
  • Soils report (if required)
  • Payment of any required submittal fees
Note: The property owner, an authorized agent, or licensed contractors are the only individuals who can legally sign the application and submit for the building permit.
