The permit can be submitted by mail, an appointment can be made to submit the building permit in person, or it can be dropped off in our lobby. The minimum submittal fee is $154.00 (for most submittals), and it can be paid by check or with a credit card (there is a 3.5% fee for credit card payment), or it can be paid in cash if an appointment has been made to submit in person.
