When is a permit complete?
A permit is considered complete when it passes the final inspection.

What if a permit expires?
Generally, a permit expires after 180 days if no inspections have been made. If the permit expires before the final inspection, the project is in violation of the California State Building Code. If this occurs, please call the Help Line at 916-264-5011 or come in to the Permit Counter. City staff will work with the applicant to reactivate or re-apply for the permit.
