Prior to purchasing property, entering into any lease, or purchasing equipment, you should investigate which permits and inspections your business may require and consider the time and cost to obtain any necessary permits. Depending on the type of business, you may be required to obtain special licenses or permits from other local, state or federal agencies.
CalGOLD provides you with information on local, state and federal permits and licenses you may need for a particular business.
The Town highly suggests hiring an architect with experience in your business industry to advise you on compliance with building and fire codes, disabled access requirements, and to assist you with the permit process. The initial cost spent for this assistance may pay off in the long run. To obtain permits as quickly as possible, you should submit complete applications and quickly respond to staff requests for any additional information.
