Determine Zoning |
|
Before developing a parcel of land, you will need to
determine if the parcel is zoned for your desired use or if
there are any special development considerations for your
project. The Planning Division will be able to tell you the zoning
of the property or if there are any special considerations
for your project. If everything is ok, you can proceed
as directed by our staff, generally moving on to Step Two on
this page. If your project requires special handling,
our staff will inform you of the requirements and next
steps.

Building Plan Review |
|
After the Planning review process has been completed,
building plans can be submitted for review.
Building Plans are reviewed to assure that construction
meets minimum life safety requirements. Depending upon the type of project, and the
complexity of construction, our staff will examine
your plans for conformance to these requirements.
NOTE: You will be required to pay a Pre-Plan
Check Fee at this time. Staff will inform you of
the amount at the time you submit your building plans.

Development Permits |
|
The Permit Process ensures that you comply with the
codes, which have been adopted by the City Council and
incorporated in the City of Modesto Ordinances.
Once your application and detailed plans are
submitted and pre-plan check fees are paid, the Building Safety Division
will review your application. You will be notified if
any modifications are required.
At this point, you will need to pay any necessary fees.
Once paid, your building permits will be issued.

Building Inspections |
|
Before
covering up or building over any permitted work, you will
need to call and request an inspection. Inspections are
required to ensure that all work was completed correctly,
based on building and safety codes currently in effect.
If an encroachment permit was required for your
project, schedule off-site inspections with the Public
Works Department at (209) 342-2284.
