About each permit

Building and Safety Division Permit

Any of the 10 tracked industries undertaking new construction, a tenant improvement or a change of use requiring building alterations in unincorporated Ventura County needs a building, electrical, plumbing or mechanical permit from the RMA Building and Safety Division. A new tenant occupying existing commercial space pays a $267 Certificate of Occupancy review in addition to the $74 application fee and the relevant issuance fee ($59 single-trade or $133 combination); new construction or a larger remodel is priced on the project's construction valuation under Table 1-A, starting at $57 and rising by $6.22 per $1,000 of valuation above $1,000,000. A failed inspection that must be repeated costs a flat $178 reinspection fee. This fee schedule shares its adoption and effective dates (revised May 19, 2026, effective July 18, 2026) with the RMA Planning Division's Zoning Clearance fee schedule (listed as its own requirement), as both are attachments to the same Board of Supervisors fee resolution.
