"But, if you've hired a contractor and want to verify the proper permits have been obtained, we've made it simple to look up this information yourself to ensure the investment you've made in your home is protected."The city now offers online building permits for all projects, including HVAC replacements, water heater installations and roofing. The online system makes it easy for contractors working on home projects to apply for the required permits.Permits help protect homes, investments and safety. Skipping the permit process violates the California Building Code and exposes homeowners to unnecessary risks."People often don't realize how important it is to obtain a building permit for their home construction projects. Building permits are not optional," Pagan said. "They are required by law, and they are an invisible safety net that can help protect residents from the dangers of substandard work. Sadly, we've seen the good and the bad in home construction, and pulling a permit is a smart investment to help ensure the job is done right."As many as 50% of HVAC, water heater and re-roof projects fail their first inspection, whether completed by a do-it-yourselfer or a professional, licensed contractor.Without proper permits and inspections, homeowners can face health and safety hazards, voided warranties and, in some cases, risk losing insurance coverage and incurring expensive repairs.Permits ensure work is completed to standard and reviewed by trained and certified inspectors before a project is finalized.This provides peace of mind and financial protection for the homeowner. Homeowners are encouraged to verify that the correct permits are on file with the city and to review them for passing status before issuing the final payment to a contractor.The California State Contractor's Licensing Board recommends not making the final payment until the project has written approval from the building department and the homeowner is satisfied with the job.Checking permit status is fast and easy through the city's online portal. Residents can enter a property address to view all active and historical permits, inspection results, permit numbers and project details.The city's new online system helps homeowners stay up-to-date on the permitting process in 3 steps.First, residents can visit here to verify whether the correct permits have been pulled for any recent project. Second, they can type in the address they want to review, and all current and past permits for that location will appear, including permit numbers, inspection statuses and project dates. Third, they can review the permit and inspection information to ensure the project is properly permitted and has passed final inspection before making final payments to a contractor."We're here to make sure projects start on the right foot and end with confidence," Pagan said. "This system empowers homeowners, holds contractors accountable, and helps to ensure your home is protected."</div></body>
