Demolition Permits

A Process Guide

A demolition permit is required whenever a building or a structure is demolished. The 1998 California Building Code, Section 106 specifically states, "Except as specified in Section 106.2, no building or structure regulated by this code shall be erected, constructed . . . or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has first been obtained from the building official."

To request a demolition permit the following items are required:

• A completed New Construction Worksheet
• A completed Asbestos Notification of Demolition and Renovation Form 4552
• Utility disconnect notices for buildings and structures that are connected to a utility source.
• Three copies of a site plan
  

Permit fees are based upon valuation. Use the Building Permit Fee Worksheet to calculate fees.
