Getting an estimate of the fees for your building project in Rancho Cordova

After you've picked your ideal home from among the homes for sale in Rancho Cordova, you may discover that you want to renovate or add to it in some fashion. If the home improvement project you have in mind is sizable enough, you will need to get the proper building permit from the Rancho Cordova Building & Safety Division's Permit Services section, and pay the appropriate fee.

This fee will vary based on the specific nature and scope of your project, and it is necessary to submit certain information to the Permit Services department to get an estimate. Again, the essential data will depend on the nature of your project.

Any tenant improvements, interior alterations, demolition, fire repairs and similar improvements will require you to submit a detailed plan for what the project will involve, as well as a valuation of the construction costs that this will incur. You can enlist the help of the contractor you have hired for this work to ensure that you submit the proper information.

You'll need less information for new residential incidental structures, including garages or sheds not attached to the house as well as patio covers or arbors. Only the details of the project and the layout of how many square feet it will encompass are necessary. Contact the Permit Services office by phone or email to deliver these plans and view the various downloadable brochures the department provides for additional tips.
