Description:
Building permits protect public health and safety and help to prevent work by unlicensed and unqualified contractors. At the Department of Buildings, we know that the quicker and more user-friendly we make the permitting and inspection process, the more people will obtain necessary permits.
The Department of Buildings is excited to launch our web-based Express Permit Program on November 6, 2023. The Express Permit Program will provide a new, improved way for home and building owners to obtain building permits needed to repair or replace existing features of a building or undertake specific small improvement projects, such as adding residential solar panels.
Join the Department of Buildings for a demonstration of the Express Permit Program website, and a preview of the Guide to Building Permits website, which will be fully rolled out over the next few months.
