Do you qualify for an Express Permit?

To submit an Express Permit, you need to confirm if the scope of work qualifies by visiting the Express Permits webpage. Please note, if the property is within the Wildland-Urban Interface Code Area, a permit may be required.

If your work exceeds the qualifications, please exit this application. A different permit application is required for your scope of work. You may review available residential permit options on our Residential Plan Review webpage.
