Permit services FAQs

Residential permit approval takes two weeks from the time your permit application is submitted. Minor projects can receive immediate approval, and commercial permit processing takes up to four weeks. Contact your local authorities for the exact documentation requirements, qualifying project criteria for expedited approval, and confirmation of current permit processing timelines.

You could face serious consequences if you build without a permit. Local agencies might force you to stop all work and impose heavy fines that could equal or exceed your entire project cost. Not only does this disrupt your renovation, but it also jeopardizes safety standards and can void your insurance coverage. It's crucial to obtain all required permits before you start any work.

Yes, you can pull your own permits by contacting your local building department and providing all required documentation, like proof of ownership and personal information. This gives you direct control over your project permits and can help you avoid extra contractor fees. However, in some areas, only licensed professionals are allowed to pull permits, so it's essential to check your local regulations before proceeding.

An owner-builder permit assigns complete responsibility for the project directly to you, which means you manage every aspect of construction as your own contractor. This approach eliminates third-party fees and can lower your overall costs, but it also transfers full financial risk if project deadlines are missed or if safety issues arise. Securing this permit confirms that you are prepared to meet all quality and safety standards independently.

Permit applications for standard construction projects are submitted to the local building department. However, when the project involves septic system installations or alterations, the application must be filed with the local health department. This ensures that specialized environmental and health requirements are met and that your project complies with all regulatory standards. Verify the correct submission process with your local authorities.
