Interior Demolition Permit

An Interior Demolition permit is an optional permit that can be obtained prior to beginning construction on commercial renovation projects. This permit is required in order to begin removing interior (non-structural) walls, opening walls, or conducting exploratory demolitions when a full building permit has not yet been issued. Interior Demolition permits are generally issued on the same day as application following review by a permit analyst. This permit does not allow for any exterior work and will not result in a Certificate of Occupancy or a Certificate of Completion.
