HELLO WORLD Learn about when you need a permit, what information you'll need and how to apply.

As part of our Red Carpet Program, all submitted commercial projects will be assigned a Team Leader from our Development Team, who will oversee your project, and who will also be your primary contact throughout the process. Your project will require review and approval from various City Plans Examiners.  Questions or inquiries as the processing of your permit progresses will be directed to your team leader, though some department specific questions may require that you interact with any one or all of the department Plans Examiners.

ATTENTION Online Users

The Department of Building Safety will now be using our new permit software as intended…..to go paperless. Effective immediately, paper corrections and Certificates of Occupancy will no longer be printed at the jobsite. All project information is available in your Citizenserve account, and Certificates can be printed if needed, from your “Documents” tab once the inspector has approved and issued the C.O. We are excited to be moving forward with this and will be here to help at any time. Thank you!
