To obtain a Building Permit in the City of Oakley you will need to complete a Building Permit Application. Depending on the complexity of the project; building plans may be required. To determine if your project requires plans please contact the Building Division at (925) 625-7005, or email: martin@ci.oakley.ca.us
Permits that do not require plans can be obtained the same day by completing a permit application; typically projects like re-roofs, water heaters and electrical service upgrades do not require plans and are considered to be “over the counter permits.”
Permits can only be issued to either the owner of the property or to a licensed contractor licensed by the California State License Board.
