Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a home addition?
Yes. Any addition of floor area, structural change or new bedroom needs a building permit from the city, and usually a zoning check for setbacks, height and lot coverage.
Is HOA approval the same as a city permit?
No. HOA architectural approval and the city building permit are separate. Many projects need both, and the HOA often wants to see drawings first.
