New Commercial Miscellaneous

Use this permit category for any commercial project that does not fit one of the other permit types.

Typical projects in this category include the following, among others:

• Temporary structures, for example tents, modular buildings and construction trailers. For a tent, complete the Tent Membrane Structure Information sheet (PDF, 95 KB) and include it with your application.
• Racking systems, usually storage racks in warehouses. Include a completed Storage Rack Questionnaire (PDF, 116 KB) with your application.
• Solar or generator systems. Provide all of the design documents your type of installation requires.
• EV charging stations. See the EV Charging Station Guide (PDF, 102 KB).
• Other work that does not match any permit type currently offered.

Step 1. Review Requirements

Before a permit can be issued, you will need to provide:

• The project address
• Square footage, where it applies
• The valuation of the work
• A short description of the work (for example, "temporary structure")
• Further details: a full description of the proposed work, how the structure will be used, the business name, and whether the project includes electrical, plumbing or mechanical/HVAC work
• Contact information for the property owner, plus any licensed contractors, architect or engineer involved
• Plans for the proposed work, such as a site plan, architectural or structural drawings, and any other plans needed
• Note: review the installation requirements for unlisted equipment (PDF, 111 KB).

Step 2. Apply Online

Building permit applications are submitted through the city's online permitting portal. New users need a valid email address to register, and setting up an account takes roughly five minutes.

What Next?

Once your online application is in, expect processing to take about 5 to 10 business days. Approval can take longer if the applicant needs to send corrections or additional information.
