How you apply

• Applications go through the city's online portal, My Government Online (MGO). You need an account, and files must meet the portal's digital submittal standards.
• City staff have to approve the request, and incomplete applications are not accepted.
• The application fee is set by the city's fee schedule. It's assessed after the application is accepted and is due when the payment notice is issued. If it isn't paid, the application is treated as incomplete and void.

Information the city asks for

• Owner and applicant details
• The site address
• A description of the proposed work
• Total floor area affected, in square feet
• The type of foundation
• The project value in dollars

Plans, by foundation type

Slab foundation repair: a stamped and signed engineer's plan of the whole foundation that identifies the area needing repair, plus a section drawing showing the foundation's specifications.

Pier and beam shimming: a layout plan showing all the piers, their spacing, and which ones need shims.

Pier and beam repair: the same pier layout plan, plus an engineer-signed and sealed section drawing showing the minimum clearance between the anchoring pad and the beam, and any piling needed to support the foundation.

Every job: a written scope of work explaining the repair method and how much of the foundation is being repaired.

Who usually pulls the permit

In most cases the repair company applies for the permit as part of the job, using its engineer's plans. Ask them to confirm that in writing before you sign, and ask for a copy of the permit once it's issued.
