Building Permits and Plan Checks

Before submitting a Building Permit application, check with the Planning and Engineering divisions to determine if other permits or approvals are required for your project.

Permits are required when constructing, remodeling or enlarging a building or structure. Permits are also required for other improvements to your property. The City's permitting process is described below:

Application

Plan Check

All projects with plan sets need to be submitted electronically to buildingapplications@claremontca.gov along with the permit worksheet and all other supporting documents. Any permits without plans will still be processed over the counter. 

City Hall - Hours for permit issuance/plan check:
M-Th, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

To ensure that plans comply with State and local Building Codes, a detailed review of the construction drawings submitted by an applicant is conducted prior to the issuance of a building permit.
