BUILDING DEPARTMENT
The City's Building Department deals with building matters including the issuance of Permits, Inspection of completed work, and the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for new construction. The Department also handles Records for structures within the City, including permitting records and plans of original structures, additions, and alterations.
Permit Application Submittals
Digital Plan Review is now being accepted for any plans that do not need to obtain approval from the St. Johns County Fire Marshal's Office.
To submit plans online, email onlinepermitting [at] cityofsab.org
Submittals shall be broken down into separate attachments based on what they are. (For example: the site plan should be one attachment and labeled "Site Plan", and energy sheets should be a separate attachment labeled as "Energy Sheets".) If the submittal documents are larger than 25 MB, they will have to be sent in multiple emails.
For digital submittals to the St. Johns County Fire Marshal's Office our completed “Building Permit/Clearance Sheet Application” will need to accompany your plan set. Permit applications can be found to the right under "Building Forms, Permits, and Applications."
