FAQs

Navigating the permit process can be confusing, but we’re here to make it easy. Below are answers to some of the most common questions.

  • Why do I need a permit for my project?

    Building permits are required by city and county governments to ensure that construction projects comply with safety regulations, zoning laws, and building codes. Without a permit, you may face fines, stop-work orders, or legal issues.

  • What types of permits do you handle?

    We assist with:

    ✅ Residential Permits (home additions, remodels, ADUs, etc.)

    ✅ Commercial Permits (tenant improvements, new builds, renovations)

    ✅ Permit Running (handling in-person submissions & follow-ups)

    ✅ Site Plans & Floor Plans (for accurate, code-compliant submissions)

  • How long does it take to get a permit approved?

    Permit approval times vary based on the project and city regulations. General estimates:


    • Residential projects: 2-6 weeks
    • Commercial projects: 4-12 weeks
    • Expedited permits: Available in some cases

    We work to streamline the process and reduce delays wherever possible.

  • What documents do I need to apply for a permit?

    Common requirements include:

    📄 Completed permit application

    📐 Site plans & floor plans

    🏗️ Engineering or structural reports (if applicable)

    📋 Property ownership details


    We will guide you in gathering the necessary documents to ensure a smooth approval process.

  • Do I need to go to the city office myself?

    No! We handle all city interactions, including in-person submissions, corrections, and follow-ups. You won’t have to deal with long lines or confusing paperwork.

  • What happens if my permit application gets rejected?

    If your permit is denied, we will:

    🔍 Identify the issue and provide corrections

    📞 Communicate with city officials to resolve problems

    📋 Resubmit your application to get it approved as quickly as possible

  • Do I need an architect or engineer for my permit?

    It depends on your project. Some permits (such as structural changes or new builds) may require architectural or engineering plans. We can help determine whether your project needs professional drawings and connect you with the right experts if needed.

  • Can you help with permit corrections or revisions?

    Yes! If your permit application has been flagged for missing information or compliance issues, we’ll handle all necessary revisions and work with the city to get it approved.
