CONSTRUCTION PERMIT PROCEDURES

This booklet is provided as a guideline for construction permit applicants to explain the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) procedures and application requirements. Please read through the booklet carefully to see what regulation requirements apply to your project. Procedures for park construction are found in Part A and for park building construction in Part B. Using this booklet helps you to avoid any omissions. Also, before proceeding you are encouraged to contact the appropriate Area Office to learn which local or other agency approvals are necessary for this Department to approve your project and to answer any questions relative to your project.

Once you have obtained any necessary local agency approvals and have completed all necessary plans, calculations, engineering, etc., required for processing your application, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate Area Office or Area Supervisor for additional guidance. The purpose of this contact is to arrange a meeting, preferably at the appropriate area office, to review your construction application, plans and other pertinent documents (project package). At that time, the plan check staff or area supervisor will use this booklet as a worksheet to indicate if your project package is complete and ready to be submitted for plan check or explain what items are remaining to complete your permit package. Commonly deficiencies are noted by circling the box in front of a plan requirement. If the project package is missing information, a second meeting may be recommended prior to submittal of the package for plan checking.

Fees will be charged for these preliminary plan check meetings as a technical service fee ($196.00 per hour, $196.00 minimum).

In addition to reviewing the completeness of your project package, the Area Supervisor or plan check staff will calculate construction and plan check fees. Separate permits are required for grading, utility construction, swimming pools and buildings. A copy of your worker’s compensation insurance coverage must also be provided. Only after the project package is complete should your application and three (3) sets of plans with calculations and specifications with all required fees be submitted to the Department’s plan check section. An incomplete or incorrect submission will result in it being returned, additional fees being charged for re-submittal, and project delays.

Once the submittal is received in the plan check office, it will be logged in and reviewed in the order it was received. Typically, plan review requires 4 to 6 weeks, so please plan accordingly and remain patient.

If the package is approved as submitted, you will receive your permit and job copy of the plans and documents by mail unless otherwise specified and paid for in advance. If the plan checker has questions, identifies errors, or information is missing from the submittal, you will be notified by mail of who to contact and the approval process will be suspended until a satisfactory response is received.
