Permit types & fees

Building Permit

Verified

Rancho Cucamonga is the one city in this corpus that does not issue building permits at a counter at all. The department states: "Please note we do not issue permits over the counter, and our process is done 100% online." Everything routes through the city's Online Permit Center, and which mailbox you use depends on what you are building.

Requirements

THE PROCESS IS ONLINE-ONLY: "All permits are applied for online", and "Please note we do not issue permits over the counter, and our process is done 100% online." Travelling to the Civic Center will not produce a permit.
Correspondence is routed BY PERMIT TYPE, not to one inbox - solar, reroofs and patio covers go to one address, everything else to another. See documents.
