I want to add onto my house, how do I apply for a building permit?
First you should contact the City Planning Department to ensure the addition will meet the City’s Zoning Ordinance and that the project will not require approval from the Site and Architecture Commission or the City Council. If there are no zoning or planning permit issues, you can then submit a completed building permit application along with the appropriate plans and calculations to the City Building Department.

Also look in the Building Department Documents for the Building Permit Submittal Requirements.
