Do I Need a Building Permit for My Home Construction or Renovation Project?
In most cases, yes. Sacramento requires building permits for various construction and renovation projects. Typically, they are required for new home construction, alterations, additions, and plumbing, as well as remodeling projects.
It is essential to check with the Sacramento County Building and Inspection division to determine the specific requirements for your project and to ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations.
How Can I Obtain a Building Permit for My Home Project?
To obtain a building permit in Sacramento, you must submit a permit application to the Sacramento County website. The application should include detailed information about your project, such as construction plans, specifications, and the scope of work. Depending on the project, additional documents may be required.
Once submitted, the building department will review your application to ensure it meets all safety and code requirements. If approved, you will receive your building permit, allowing you to proceed with your construction or renovation project lawfully.
Why Do I Need a Home Inspection?

What Is a HERS Rating, and Why Is It Important?
A HERS (Home Energy Rating System) rating is a measurement of a home’s energy efficiency. Energy conservation is important in the Sacramento area, so having a favorable HERS rating is ideal.
The lower the HERS score, the more energy-efficient the home is, resulting in reduced energy consumption, lower utility bills, and a smaller carbon footprint. Homes with a good HERS rating are also more attractive to environmentally conscious buyers, potentially increasing the property’s resale value.
