BUILDING PERMITS

  WHEN DO YOU NEED ONE?

 Wednesday, September 27th the Development Services Department of the City of Sacramento is offering another in its "Lunch & Learn" series.  The primary purpose for these monthly programs is to provide continuous education to the citizens regarding the development review process. The presenters are experts in the field of the topic being presented. 

September's program will be an evening event from 6:00pm-7:00pm in the Training Conference Room of the City's North Natomas Permit Center located at 2101 Arena Blvd.   The topic covered is entitled "Homeowner's Guide to Permits."  

Areas covered in the program will be:

• When you need a building permit
• Minor repairs
• Other improvements
• Tips

For anyone interested in doing work around their home beyond basic maintainence, particularly if you are a do-it-yourselfer this is an informative and valuable opportunity to learn about the permit process .  As a homeowner it is important to know these rules and guidelines because when you go to sell your home or rental property the buyers will get a home inspection and having work done with a permit will ensure it is done correctly and up to code which can save you time and money as well as help get your property to "closed"  quicker.

So, take an hour this Wednesday the 27th and learn when, or if, you will need to get a permit for your next project around the house.  You will be glad you did.  For more information or to attend please contact Gloria Bacani in the Development Services Office at 916-808-7467 or by email at gbacani@CityofSacrament.org.
