Use this checklist to help gather all the required information and documents in order to submit a complete building
permit application for a project involving construction of a new commercial, multifamily, or mixed-use building, non-
occupiable structure, or addition or alteration to an existing building or structure.
The information in this checklist has been customized to be more project-specific for a variety of smaller project types.
When applying for a Building Permit, you can use one of the following checklists if relevant to your project:
The Tenant Improvement Building Permit Checklist may be used for interior-only tenant improvements.
The Single Family Building Permit Checklist may be used for single family, duplex and townhouse projects.
The Re-Roof Building Permit Checklist may be used for projects involving re-roofing only.
Installation of Photovoltaic Panels on the rooftop of a single family residence does not always require a Building
Permit, but an Electrical Permit must be obtained, in which case, the Electrical Permit Checklist for Residential Solar
Photovoltaic Systems can be used.
The Building, Fire, Planning and Public Works Departments can inform you of requirements for altering or adding to
existing buildings or constructing new buildings.
• Required setbacks, height limitations, floor area ratios, lot coverage, and other zoning information may be
