ANSWERS TO YOUR PERMIT QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1Why Do I Need Building Permit?
Without a building permit, one can’t legally construct a new building or remodel an existing one. Such a permit indicates that a project complies with local building codes, safety regulations, and zoning requirements, and thus is safe for public health, safety, and welfare.
2When is a permit required?
According to the California Building Codes, you need a permit every time you construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, remove, convert, or demolish a building or structure.
3Will my permit expire?
For most local jurisdictions, a building permit is only valid for one year. However, it will be extended for another 180 days after the first approved inspection.
4How much is a building permit in California?
Permit fees for a house all depend on the structure use, cost, square footage, construction type, and location. In addition, you may need to pay for submission, inspections, sewer, zone check, water usage, parking spot, architectural services, and transportation development impact.
