Clearances
Building Permits can require steps, documentation, and/or approvals that must be provided before a Building Permit can be issued. These "Clearances" are evaluated on a project-by-project basis in order to meet all of the regulatory requirements for each permit. Upon submittal of your Building Permit Application, our staff will evaluate your project for the required clearances.
If you have any questions about about which Clearances will be required for your project, please contact our Community Development Technicians at 951-694-6476.
Note: Fees may be required for these clearances.
