When you need this permit

  • Permit required for furnace, boiler, and fireplace installation or replacement; hot tubs on existing decks/slabs also route through Rapid Review
  • Product specification sheets required for all replacement equipment except direct-vent fireplaces; not required for equipment installed as part of a new commercial construction project (already covered by that permit's plan set)
  • Engineer's stamp required on mechanical plans for commercial projects
  • If Mechanical and Plumbing permits are both required for the same scope of work under Rapid Review, the fee is charged at 2x the base valuation-based rate per the Rapid Review chart

Tips

  • Furnace, boiler, and fireplace replacements usually qualify for the Rapid Review Joint Application (target 3-business-day turnaround) rather than the slower standard Building Permit track — confirm eligibility before assuming the longer CBCS review timeline applies.
  • Direct-vent fireplaces are specifically exempted from the product-spec-sheet submittal requirement under Rapid Review — a small but real paperwork savings if you're installing one.
