Building Services

Permits by FAX

The Building Services Department has initiated a new program that allows an applicant to submit application information and receive documents by FAX. During the first phase of this program, we are limiting the permit types to minor items not requiring plan check. It is our intention to expand this program to include a wider scope of permit processing in the future. In order to conduct business by FAX, you must first complete a credit card authorization form at the Permit Center. Once on file, you will be able to submit applications and receive permits by FAX. As our use of internet technology expands, applications and permits will be transmitted through the service you are using to view this page. For questions regarding permits by FAX, please call (510) 238-3891.
