This information is intended to assist you or your contractor to construct, a room addition in a satisfactory manner. Your city should recognize your efforts to improve and increase the value of your home, and should also be pleased to assist you with the planned construction. Building codes and local zoning ordinances will provide the applicable construction and design requirements necessary for a safe and quality project.

Please note that all types of room additions require a building permit, an electric permit a heating/cooling permit and plumbing permit if applicable, from your city

The time required for the permit review process is dependent on the total number of permits requiring a plan review on a specific day and time of year. The months from March through October, are the most active construction periods, therefore we recommend that your submittal of information required for a plan review be made at least 60 days prior to beginning the room addition project.

The following information is required from you or your contractor to obtain the building permits:
 

• Demolition permit for removal of an existing structure if applicable
• Completion, of the permit application, that can be obtained from your city building department
