Permit fees and worked estimates

Submission checklist
Homeowner and codes
Residential building applications by owners require the posted homeowner exemption form. That form is not proof of eligibility for every regulated trade. Verify CIB credentials and current City building/zoning and trade provisions.
Inspections and closeout
Use the required inspections list supplied with the issued permit and the City’s online, phone or text scheduling instructions. Complete corrections and all applicable building, trade and Fire/occupancy approvals.
