A building permit may not be known as a “building
permit” in every city, but may be called a
construction permit, or may be classified
by the type of construction you are doing,
such as residential permits, commercial permits,
or temporary or ancillary structure permits.
Some cities have a general building permit
application, whereas others have separate
permit applications for project type or for
the different phases of construction. Not
all cities have forms on their site and might
only list a contact and phone number at the
designated department.
