Fees By Project

Residential Remodel

Fees By Project

Residential Remodel

A Residential Remodel activity encompasses a very large array of projects. The scope of some residential remodels includes work that falls under the “Minor Permit” category. In general, the scope must be considered non-structural to be considered a minor remodel permit. Non-structural remodels do not involve the removal or erection of any walls or the creation of, or enlargement of openings in any walls. Plans are usually necessary so that load bearing and non-load bearing status of walls can be verified. For the preceding reasons, Residential Remodel permits involve the reconfiguration of existing residential spaces to a degree that requires plan review.

The Residential Remodel activity type is also used in the rare instance that a commercial structure is being remodeled for use as a Single Family Residence, Duplex, or Halfplex where new square footage is not being created as part of the project.
