​

  • All construction documents submitted with an application for a building permit shall bear an original embossed or wet ink seal and original signature on the front sheet of each discipline within each set of construction documents; or

Use Permits

A Commercial Occupancy Use Permit is required if you are occupying a new commercial occupancy, or are a new occupant to an existing commercial occupancy.

​

A Commercial Use Permit provides the Eureka Fire Protection District vital information on the activities in the commercial occupancy. It also provides emergency contact information in the event of an incident at that occupancy after business hours to someone with authority to make decisions for that occupancy.

​

Commercial Use Permit Fee: $50.00 per occupant or tenant space. Permit voided after occupant or tenant space has been vacated.
