WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE IN OBTAINING THIS PERMIT?
Either yourself, the owner of the property, your authorized agent or your licensed building
contractor, must complete and submit the building permit application along with
accompanying structural drawings with specific details of the proposed work for review for
code compliance. This review is usually completed within 24 to 48 hours depending on the
complexity of the proposed work. After the initial review of the proposed work is completed,
the property owner or the licensed contractor will be contacted by our permit technician to
schedule an appointment with the plans examiner, if necessary, to go over the details of the
planned construction, to be informed of additional requirements or to be informed of the
permit fees. After all fees has been remitted, your permit will be issued a permit number.
This permit number will be your proof that the permit had been properly issued and
construction work can begin.

NOW THAT THE PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
OTHER REQUIREMENTS MAY APPLY / NOT TO SCALE
After the permit has been issued, work may begin as soon as possible. Building is normally
done in steps or phases. All work performed within a specific phase must be inspected and
approved before the work of the next phase begins. There are usually four to six individual
phase inspections required. The total number of inspections depends on the type of foundation
system proposed to support the floor and wall systems. The required inspections are listed
below in order of phase:
1. Foundation
2. Floor system
3. Exterior Wall Sheathing And
Anchoring Methods
Check size, placement of required reinforcement steel
within footer trenches, width and depths of footer
trenches and vapor barrier when required.
Wood floor joists checked for proper framing prior to
applying floor sheathing or concrete slab preparation

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE MY
PROJECT ONCE THE PERMIT IS ISSUED?
A permit is valid for one year after it is properly issued.
However, if there is a lapse or delay of construction for a
period longer than 6 months, the construction project will be
assumed to be abandoned and the permit will become null
and void. A new permit will be required before work is
allowed to continue. If a long delay between work phases is
expected, proper notification must be given in writing within
30 days of the work stoppage.

It is the sole responsibility of the home owner to ensure that all the necessary permits had
been properly applied for and issued before allowing any work to start. It is highly
recommended that the owner require any hired contractor to provide proof of state and local
licensing requirements to operate a business to build, erect, alter or install building
components and/or systems before signing any contractual agreements. It is also suggested
that the person or persons who will be responsible for the construction work submit the
permit application(s). The home owner is authorized to perform as the general contractor,
project manager or job coordinator provided that the he or she lives in the building where the
work is proposed to occur. Inspection requests will be only accepted from the applicant
to whom the permit was issued to.
