You'll need to get permits from the Building Division any time you're constructing a new commercial building, modifying the inside or outside of an existing commercial building, or installing equipment in or next to a commercial building. You might need permits from other departments as well.
The city offers many resources to help you identify which permits you will need, when you will need them, and how to navigate the permitting process. The key to success is to contact us early in the process, such as before you sign a lease or purchase agreement, or before you approve a project plan, budget, and timeline.
