Unpermitted / As-Built

Unpermitted construction is a violation of County Code and may result in enforcement actions and/or fines until the work has been properly permitted and inspected. Property owners are responsible for legalizing any unpermitted work, regardless of when it was constructed. 

If you have received a Notice of Violation or would like to legalize existing unpermitted construction, you must either: 

  • Obtain an As-Built Construction Permit to bring the work into compliance with current code requirements, or 

  • Apply for a Demolition Permit to remove the unpermitted work. 

Follow the steps below to begin the as-built permitting process: 

1. Review the As-Built Permitting Guide -  

 Refer to the As-Built Construction Guide for required documentation, inspection procedures, and fee information. This includes payment of the Non-Compliance Fee, which is required for all as-built permit submittals.  

2. Complete a Construction Permit Application 

Submit a fully completed Construction Permit Application Package.  Incomplete or unsigned applications will not be accepted.  

3. Submit a Signed Non-Compliance Agreement 
A Non-Compliance Agreement must be completed and signed by the property owner and submitted with the permit application. Applications received without this agreement will not be processed. 

4. Schedule an Appointment – No Wait Inside 
At this time, as-built permit applications must be submitted in paper form at the Permit Center. Schedule an appointment to ensure staff availability and avoid waiting inside the lobby.
