The permit path depends on the property, jurisdiction, shoreline designation, ownership, habitat, project type, and whether work occurs over, in, or near the water.
Start with the site, not the form.
Before an application is prepared, the project team should confirm the controlling city or county, parcel and shoreline information, aquatic-land ownership, existing permits, proposed dimensions, access, habitat conditions, and likely construction methods.
Identify the city or county, shoreline rules, property boundaries, and aquatic-land ownership.
Coordinate concept, dimensions, use, engineering, access, materials, and construction sequencing.
Align local applications with state and federal approvals, environmental documentation, and agency conditions.
Track approved plans, work windows, inspections, notifications, and permit conditions through closeout.
