Additions

Adding space usually involves structural work. The building department needs to review the proposed addition and determine what plans and other approvals apply.

A preliminary guide, not official approval. The department makes the final determination. Sources reviewed November 6, 2026.

Where is the property?

A mailing city or ZIP code alone does not establish the building authority. Choose County only for an unincorporated property under its authority.

Your answers stay in this page session. They are not saved or sent to McCann Contracting. Opening an official link leaves this guide.

Choose the property's area above to start. If you do not know, choose “I'm not sure” for official starting points.

Change project

What matters for this project.

Do not assume a small addition has a simplified permit or is exempt. New enclosed space is different from replacing an interior finish.

Tell the department what will be added and how the new space will be used. This guide does not determine engineering, design or application requirements.
