Inspections

​Im​​portant notice regarding building permit plan review statuses:

​​​We have updated our status reporting methods to help you understand where your plans​ are in the review process. Please review the following building permit statuses and their description:

IN REVIEW: Plans have been received by the building department and are being reviewed. We appreciate your patience as we ​ensure all building codes are met.

REQUIRES RE-SUBMIT:  ​You will received an email when this occurs.  Please refer to your STREAM dashboard for further instructions.

APPROVED: Plans have been reviewed and approved.  This does not mean the permit has been issued.  Please check your STREAM dashboard for further instructions.

​ISSUED: A permit will only be issued once all fees have been paid.

STEP 1: Visit https://stream.a2gov.org and register ​​​a new account (click on Guest in the top right hand corner and select Register). This account will be used for logging into STREAM to apply for and manage building and trade permits. 

STEP 2: Once registered with STREAM, navigate to the Apply screen to submit for review the appropriate Contractor Licensing under the Licenses tab.  This step must be completed to apply for permits in the STREAM system that require state licensing.  If the licensing is currently up to date and active with the city, the registration fee will be waived.  You will receive a confirmation email from the STREAM system once the submitted licensing has been reviewed and added to the system.

If you will be applying for a permit as a homeowner or the permit type does not require state licensing, Step 2 is not required.   These steps only need to be completed once.

Important Notes
