Architects, Engineers, Designers and Builders are responsible for paying the necessary plan check and permit fees required to have their designs reviewed and pre-approved for inclusion in the Standard Plan Pilot Program.

For Homeowners, under the Mayor’s Emergency Executive Order No. 7, the collection of fees associated with permits are currently suspended for projects that are to repair, restore, demolish, or replace property or facilities substantially damaged or destroyed by the Wildfires; and shall only apply to property owners who held ownership of their homes on or before January 7, 2025.

This means homeowners can select and use these plans without paying additional city permitting fees, though other agency clearances may apply.
