Consistent with State law effective January 1, 2024, all building permits for residential and nonresidential additions, remodels, and new construction will be subject to a two-part City review.

First is completeness review to confirm the permit application submitted includes all required materials, based on the submittal checklists provided below. City staff will notify the applicant of any missing or incomplete information after 3 weeks.

Then, once the missing or incomplete information is resubmitted and verified to be complete, City staff will conduct code compliance review, verifying the permit complies with City and State codes and requirements.  City staff will notify the applicant of any corrections or revisions necessary to meet requirements following standard permit review times (which vary based on permit scope between 4 to 6 weeks). 

Note: All other permits are not impacted by this new law and remain with their existing review timelines including Fast track permits, one-stop permits, ADUs, solar permits, EV charger permits, and same-day permits.

Based on the scope of work, the list below provides submittal requirements and timelines for review by project type. Other than fire systems, deferred submittals need to be approved by the Chief Building Official prior to initial project submittal. Approvals will be granted on a case-by-case basis.
