Residential Permits

For a list of application requirements, use the Camino Online Permit Guide. Camino provides a customized checklist of building permit application submittal requirements & alerts tailored to your project and its location. 

Use the Application Requirements for Residential Structures - PLG280 to guide the preparation of your application.

• For an overview of the Building Permit process, see How to Get Started.
• The required application forms are available on the ePlan Review webpage under "Building."
• If you are considering becoming an Owner-Builder or have not yet hired a contractor, please read these important considerations. Owner-Builders must submit the Owner-Builder Acknowledgment | PLG-220.
• Prepare a fee estimate using the Residential Building Permit Fee Estimator.

• Submit application forms, project plans, and supplemental documents digitally through ePlan Review. Minor kitchen or bath remodels with no alteration of walls may be applied for as an In-Person EZ Permit.
• For an overview of how to use ePlan Review, see How to submit a project in ePlan.
• The ePlan User Guide and other resources are available under "Info and Help" on ePlan Review.
• Communication about your application occurs through the email used to create your project’s ePlan Review account. Only one email address may be used per project. If you need to access your project but your email was not used to create the account, you will have to coordinate access through the account holder.
• Third-party Plan Check service is available upon request: Plan Check Service Request Residential - PLG207.

• Fees are paid in two parts. The first part is payment of the intake fees. Once your application has been accepted for processing and a building application number has been assigned, staff will email you to pay fees online here.
• Once you have paid, the project will be routed to staff for review. See How to get Started for next steps.
