Permits by Fax

(818) 878-4208

Licensed Contractors and Homeowners are now able to fax a permit application for certain projects and receive a permit, within the same working day, by coming into Building & Safety at City Hall. We will have your permit ready when you walk in. Just hand us a check or cash and you’re ready to go. In order to do this:

Print the Fax Permit Application and Fee Worksheet
Fill in all pertinent information, including whether you’ll be paying by check or cash.
Return all three pages via fax at the above number (the application form must be completed entirely and legibly).
No permit can be issued without Workers Compensation coverage verification. This requirement does not apply to a contractor that does not have employees.

APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR:

Installation or replacement of furnaces or HVAC units in existing dwellings.
Repair or replacement of gas, water or sewer lines.
Replacement of water heaters and plumbing fixtures.
Minor electrical work (i.e. additional outlets, lights, etc.) for Residential only.

Please remember! An application for a permit is not a permit! Do not start work until you have received your permit. You may be responsible for penalty fees if you start work before the permit is issued. Having a faxed permit application that is in process will not exempt you from these penalty fees.
