- Can I obtain a building permit online?
Although the City is working towards securing simple permits (such as electrical service change outs, water heater changeouts and copper repipes), online, we are not at that point yet. Call the Building Division (626) 914-8222 or check back on the website for update information.
- How long does it take to get a building permit?
Minor projects such as roofing, HVAC, minor electrical or plumbing work do not require plans and permits can usually be issued over the counter. We also offer 'Over the Counter' reviews for minor projects, such as kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, ICC Patio Covers and pools in non restricted zones. *see list of qualified projects for counter plan review.
Projects that require plan review are commensurate with the complexity of the plans and the proposed construction.
- How long is a permit good for?
Per the 2007 California Building Code, Appendix Chapter 1, Section 105.5 Expiration: Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work on the site authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after its issuance, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. The Building Official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated.
NEW CODE ADOPTIONS - Glendora has adopted the new California Building Code which is based on the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) .
