BUILDING PERMIT FEES

General

The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) Electronic Permit System (e-Permit system) automatically calculates all applicable building permit fees based on the scope(s) of work completed by the user. All itemized fees are shown and the total fee due for the given e-Permit is shown as the "Total Fees Due" fee item. Specific questions about the fees for a given e-Permit should be addressed to the public counter of a LADBS Construction Services Center or by contacting our Customer Call Center (CCC) during our regular business hours (7am to 5pm). The CCC is available at 311 for calls originating inside of Los Angeles County. For calls originating outside of Los Angeles County, call (213) 482-0000.

Combining Fees for Multiple e-Permits

It is possible to apply for more than one e-Permit within the same e-Permit login session and have the "Total Fees Due" for each e-Permit combined into a single credit card charge that is paid after the last e-Permit is completed. To do this, press "Next Permit" button to apply for additional e-Permit(s). After the last e-Permit is completed, press the "Submit" button to obtain credit card authorization to pay the combined total of all the e-Permits.
