Permit Revision

If you have any questions about the permit revisions, please schedule a free 15-minute appointment. We can help you with the permitting process! 

When you need a permit revision

You may need a permit revision if:

• You have proposed changes to a project after you received a permit.
• You did the work differently from what was specified on the approved plans.
• An inspector asked you to make changes to your plans. In this case, the inspector may recommend that you apply for a permit revision.

Requirements for a permit revision application 

• Your drawings must clearly show all changes. Circle or bubble each change so it's easy to find.
• The main permit is issued or under inspection.
• There should be no other revisions under review for the same permit.
• The proposed revision cannot change the permit type.
  • For example, if you are building an addition, you can't turn it into an ADU with a revision.  

Application form and process

You will need to submit the plans with the changes for review again.

The reviewers will check that the changes meet code. Permit revisions go through the same permit review and inspection process.
