Looking to build a patio, add a pool, or make other home improvements? You may need a permit.

Permits are the way the City of Perris regulates construction. This is designed to ensure that all construction in the city is safe and complies with state and local building codes.

Most home construction projects will require a permit. Before you start work on a patio, pool, retaining wall or other larger project, be sure to check the building standard details. Under the Building Process option, you'll find the information for home remodeling and the permitting process. To start the permit process, go to the building and planning portal.

Remember, just because your project doesn’t need a construction permit doesn’t mean it may not need some other kind of City review. Online permitting system and building and planning portal to apply for a permit.
