BIRMINGHAM BUILDING PERMITS
The Guide to Birmingham Electronic Building Permits
While the City of Birmingham has been offering online building permits for years, it has never been more important to understand how the ePermits are working. As of May 19, City Hall has made adjustments to the permitting process, so that any residential or commercial project can receive the necessary permit through an online submission.
Obtaining an ePermit for Residential Construction in Birmingham
From residential building to renovations, all major construction projects will require submission and approval to receive an ePermit. These free trade permits allow contractors to begin work on your residence.
The 6 Step Process to Receive an Electronic Building Permit in Birmingham requires:
- Correct address
- Updated business license
- Copy of General Contractors License (When applicable)
State/City card (When applicable) - Correct job description & scope of work
- Good contact information (email and phone number)
- Make sure Building Permit number is included in the master permit line if applicable.
There is a $125 fee for the residential building permit in Birmingham and once it has been verified, the clerk will proceed to issue the permit and email it to the designated person.
Obtaining an ePermit for Commercial Construction in Birmingham
The protocol to receive an electronic business permit in Birmingham includes the same steps as the residential permits. Only the type of application that is required to be filled out for the permit will be different, but the information required about the project is the same.
What is the Turnaround Time for a Birmingham ePermit?
At the moment, it takes roughly two weeks for City Hall to review, respond and issue the electronic permit.
Should the permit need to be amended to pass inspection, it will be returned to the Contractor, so they can be corrected and resubmitted.
