Building permits can be applied for online through the Online Permitting Service (OPS) Portal or in person at the Permit Center. All applications (including plans, technical documents and forms) must be submitted in digital format.
What Requires a Permit?
Per the CBC (California Building Code) - No building or structure regulated by this code shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has first been obtained from the building official. However, there are some permit exemptions.
