Important Notices & Instructions to the Applicant
California State law requires that every permit applicant provide specific information and declarations regarding the proposed work.
Please read the information below and follow the directions pertaining to your particular permit application. All applicants must provide
the information requested on this Permit Application. If you are unsure about any item, counter staff will assist you. Fees and costs
referenced in this application are based upon those currently in force on the date of the transaction.
EXPIRATION OF PERMIT
Every permit issued by the Building Official under the provisions of the technical codes shall expire by limitation and become null and void
if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date of such permit or if the building or work
authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of 180 days. Before such
work can be recommenced, the permit shall be renewed. The fee for renewal shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit for
such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work; and provided
further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year. In order to renew action on a permit after the building or work
has been suspended or abandoned or the permit has been expired for a period exceeding one year, the permittee shall pay a new full
permit fee. Permits deemed to have been expired shall be subject to all permit related fee increases and new fees in effect at the time of
permit renewal as applicable subject to the discretion of the Building Official. The Building Official shall have discretion to adjust permit
renewal fees when extenuating circumstances exist.
Permits will be deemed to have expired if there has been no inspection of work within a 180-day period.
When the work is not ready for a required inspection within 180 days of the last inspection, the permittee must request a progress
inspection to keep the permit active. Any applicant holding an unexpired permit may apply for an extension of the time within which work
may commence under that permit when the applicant is unable to commence work within the time required by this section for good and
satisfactory reasons. The Building Official may extend the time for action by the applicant showing that circumstances beyond the control
of the applicant have prevented action from being taken. No permit shall be extended more than once. All building permits shall expire
two years after the issuance date. The permit may be extended beyond this period if the work authorized by the permit is being diligently
pursued but only upon written request by the applicant. Review of the request and granting of an approved time extension beyond two
years shall be made by the Building Official.
REFUND OF FEES
The Building Official may authorize the refunding of any fee paid hereunder that was erroneously paid or collected.
The Building Official may authorize the refunding of not more than 40 percent of the total permit fee paid when no work has been done
under a permit issued in accordance with this Code. Where no plan review fee was required, the Building Official may authorize the
refunding of not more than 80 percent of the total permit fee paid when no work has been done under a permit issued in accordance with
this Code. The Building Official may authorize the refunding of not more than 80 percent of the plan review fee paid when an application
for a permit for which a plan review has been paid is withdrawn or canceled before any plan reviewing is done. The Building Official shall
not authorize the refunding of any fee paid except upon written application filed by the original applicant not later than 180
days after the date of fee payment. (Use Refund Request Form #FE-10)
QUANTITY OF INSPECTIONS
Each permit is allotted a specific number of inspections. The number allotted is stated in the description of the work on the permit and
also included with the Inspection Work Sheet attached to the permit. This number is the budgeted maximum number of inspections
estimated and budgeted for the work described in the permit application. If the actual number of inspections is exceeded then additional
inspections must be obtained and billed based upon the current BI – II hourly rate.
Re-inspections or added inspections may also be assessed if, in the judgment of the Building Official, the permitted work is in such
condition that a reassessment of the as-built work performed to date warrants re-evaluation.
RE-I
NSPECTION FEES
A re-i
nspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not
completely ready, when there are excessive failed inspections, when excessive inspections place the County at the risk of financial loss
or when previous written corrections have not been made, when the job address is not clearly posted and visible from the street or the
front of the building, where the inspector has no access to the work to be inspected, when the approved plans are not readily available to
the inspector, when the Permit Application or a copy, and/or any previous correction notice(s) are not in the building permit job folder and
for deviating from the approved plans requiring the approval of the Building Official.
This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the
requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is completely ready for such inspection,
excessive inspections resultant from failed inspections or when plans and/or permit documents are not available to the inspector at the
site where the inspection is to be performed. To obtain a re-inspection, the applicant shall pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with
Chapter 16.90 of the Sacramento County Code. In instances where re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of
the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.

access and means of conducting an inspection of the work is impeded or equipment furnished is unsafe the inspector shall have the sole
discretion to terminate the inspection. Rescheduled and/or reinspections will be subject to the payment of fees for such additional work.
Some inspections may include and/or require photographic and/or video documentation as a part of the inspection process. Such
documentation shall be limited to those items of work covered under the permit. Video or digital photographic materials may be submitted
to the Sacramento County Building Permits & Inspection Division either by County inspection personnel or by third parties. However,
acceptance of such documentation shall be at the sole discretion of the Chief Building Official. Photographic or video documentation, if
accepted, shall be maintained by the Sacramento County Building Permits & Inspection Division and made a part of the permit record.
As a condition of permit issuance, the permit applicant and property owner(s) hereby expressly consent to photographic and/or video
recordation and documentation for inspection purposes. The permit applicant and property owner(s) also hereby expressly grants
permission to the Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection Division, its assigns and related entities, to maintain said
photographic or video recordings as part of the permit record kept in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, the permit applicant

Responsibility for Inspection of your Permitted Work
General Information for the Contractor and Property Owner
(This document shall be placed in each permit folder and a copy given to the property owner by the permittee)
All permitted work requires one or more inspections by Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspectors to verify that the work has
been performed correctly and that the public will have safe use of any building project.
• The contractor shall coordinate work and inspections and is responsible for fulfilling the requirements of his contractor’s license when
involved in any building construction work.
• The current property owner (and/or future owner) is ultimately the responsible party in meeting the requirements of the permit to ensure
that the permitting and inspections were completed on their property. Even if a permitted project is abandoned by a contractor or the
contractor is terminated by the property owner, the property owner still remains the responsible party in meeting the requirements of
receiving “final approval” and the appropriate Certificate of Occupancy issued by Building Permits and Inspection.
• A future owner of property with any existing building structures continues to be responsible for the completion and compliance of these
previously constructed building projects. This is true even when the property is bought through a foreclosure process. A building violation
remains a building violation until corrections are made, permits are secured and the project has received final approval from the County
of Sacramento Building Permits and Inspection.
Note: Often when the “Final Inspection Approval” and sign off by Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection does not occur,
this could result in the building permit expiring 6 months following its issuance due to lack of continuing progress and inspections. The
“expired permit” will require a fee for renewal (reinstatement) to allow completion of inspections and final approval. The completion of the
work and final inspection then becomes the responsibility of the property owner. Generally, the Building Permits and Inspection
department will not pursue the contractor who did not adequately complete the inspection process, however, the property owner does
have the right to pursue legal action and/or file a complaint with the CSLB:
http://www.cslb.ca.gov or seek civil resolution through the court system.
Consistent with California Building Code and California Residential Code, when the inspector has signed “Final Approval” on Residential
permit folder, it is considered the ‘Certificate of Occupancy’. For Commercial building projects, an actual ‘Certificate of Occupancy’
document shall be issued after completion of all inspections and record keeping. Ask the field building inspector about this process and
when and how you should receive this document. It is recommended that all property owners and/or contractors retain the building
permit folder as a permanent record for any and all work performed on the property.
Under Penalty of perjury, I declare that I have examined this entire application, pages 1 through 5, and all accompanying documents,
and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, complete and that I am the owner or duly authorized agent of the
owner. I agree to comply with all county and state laws relating to building construction. I hereby authorize representatives of the County
of Sacramento to enter upon the above-mentioned property for inspection purposes.
Print Name: Signature: Date:
□ Contractor □ Owner □ Agent for Contractor
□ Agent for Owner – Requires a wet signed letter from the owner giving you authorization to act as agent (of owner) before the permit can be issued.
