When your application is approved and at the time you pay your fees, the Building Safety Division will issue the required permits for your project.
Before covering up or building over any permitted work, you will need to call and request an inspection. Inspections are required to ensure that all work was completed correctly, based on building and safety codes currently in effect.
If an encroachment permit was required for your project, schedule off-site inspections with the Public Works Department at (209) 342-2284.
