Most jurisdictions
have very different requirements for
residential versus commercial permitting.
You
MUST check with your local jurisdiction
at our links
or permit
directory for the type of work
you intend to complete.
In commercial applications
the following documents must be provided
by the project applicant in
two or more stapled sets to the permitting
agency to obtain a building
permit.
The submitted documents must meet
the requirements for stamping and
sealing of professional consultants
in the state where your project is
being built.
Providing a well developed
cover sheet for your drawings with
certain basic elements is usually
the first step for getting the permit
application accepted.
This is a partial
list of required items that should
be on the cover sheet:
- Footprint - square
footage of floor area in project

code publications and editions
are used in the design
