Permit
Applications by Mail
You may now
submit your application for most "residential" types of permits by mail.
Multifamily and non-residential "commercial" projects are not
included in the "Mail-in" program at this time. Remember,
we cannot accept incomplete submittals so it is important that you
carefully follow the procedure.
Please fill out all forms completely
and include the plans, fees, supporting documents and other agency
reports that may be required.
The program
is limited to the following:
We can only accept
applications signed by the owner of the property or a California licensed
contractor representing the owner for the permitted work. All
forms requiring signatures must be signed by the same person as the
signature
on the accompanying check. Please do not send cash or a credit card number.
If the check is not attached, required signatures are not complete,
or
complete plans and forms are not included, the application will be deemed
incomplete and returned to the applicant.
Please follow the
program carefully. We have included instructions for each segment and
links to other pages that will help answer any questions you have.
A copy of the application form will
be returned once the submittal has been accepted and processed.
If you have not received a return confirmation within seven
working days, please contact Building
Services.
The interactive application forms on our web site are provided
in a PDF format. You can download and install the free
Adobe Acrobat Reader© program from the Internet or use
any program that works with the PDF format. The forms can be
filled out on screen and then printed on your printer to be included
with your application package.
- The Application
- Use the same form for all types of permits
listed.
- There are four parts to the Application requiring
signatures.
- An owner/builder must
select the appropriate boxes and sign the
owner/builder declaration, the workers compensation
declaration and the final agreement.
- A contractor must
select the appropriate boxes and sign the
contractors declaration, the workers compensation
declaration and the final agreement.
- The Driving Directions
- El Dorado is a very large and rural county
and our Driving Directions
Form helps the field inspector find your
jobsite. Please
fill out the form giving clear street to street directions from
highway 50 to your jobsite. Please use for
example, south on First Rd., left on Second St.,
jobsite second house on right.
- Plans of your project are required for review by our plan
check staff. Plans may be complex with all necessary details
or simple as in a gas line installation. Plans are not required
for applications for a re-roof, water heater exchange, or
an electrical service upgrade.
- Plans and supporting documents must be
signed by the person preparing the plans or stamped and signed
by a California licensed architect. If the plans have been
reviewed by a project engineer, their signature and stamp
must also be on the plans. Please do not send plans without
the required signatures.
- If your plans have been reviewed by an
engineer, it is important that any supporting details and
calculations be wet stamped, signed and attached to each
set.
- For residential projects, please submit
two complete sets of plans and calculations for review, plus
an additional floor plan sheet for the Assessor's office.
- Each set of plans for structures requires a site plan.
Plan Guidelines
For more detailed plan requirements
see Plancheck Guidelines or
each of the following:
Plan Review
- Your plans are reviewed by our plan check staff for minimal code
issues that may be costly and hard to correct once built.
NOTICE:  Multiple
checks may be required at time of permit
issuance depending on the type of permit: one for
the Permit, one for the School Fee, one for the Air
Quality fee, and one for DOT Encroachment Permits.
Each check is made to respective agency.
The application fee for the mail-in process is one half of
the building fee and the full planning site review fee determined
by using the appropriate permit type found in how
to obtain a permit. Grading, non-residential,
and multi-family applications cannot be mailed in and will need to be submitted to
our office during business hours.
The balance of the Building Services fee
and any additional fees by other agencies will be due at the
time of permit issuance.
Please follow the guideline for a complete permit application
submittal.
- Complete and sign the application, deed
restriction and driving direction forms.
- Determine the correct application fee
and attach check to application.
- Enclose a new mailing address if your
correspondence address is different than shown the application.
The correspondence address is where the plans and any
other documents will be returned. You may include an
e-mail address for documents that can be changed to electronic
format.
- Include your folded and signed plans and all associated
documents (such as: California Title 24 energy calculations,
engineer's calculations, truss calculations and any detail
pages.)
- An envelope inventory checklist at the bottom of your
fee calculation sheet will be the cover sheet for your
application submittal. Please check each item and sign
the statement indicating all the required items have
been included with the submittal.
- Send your completed package to:
