Residential Addition Permitting Process
Please have your plans prepared and fully completed to the following four steps:
STEP #1 – Meet with the Planning Department to ensure the project meets preliminary planning requirements. For more information, see the FAQ below.
STEP #2 – Submit a complete application package. Provide a complete building plan submittal package including the following:
- Building Permit Application
- Plan Submittal Checklist
- 3-sets of full-size plans + 2-sets of calculations (structural, if applicable and energy) and other supporting documents. See plan requirements here.
STEP #3 – The plan submittal package must be turned in to Building & Engineering, 214 South C Street Oxnard CA 93030 during our open counter hours. Staff will screen the plans for completeness and calculate the associated plan check fee, to be paid prior to beginning the plan check. Plan check fees are based on project valuation.
