THINKING ABOUT STARING A PROJECT? YOU MIGHT NEED A PERMIT!

If you’re planning to build, remodel, or make changes to your property, there’s a good chance you’ll need a building permit first. Permits help make sure projects are safe, meet local codes, and protect everyone involved – including future buyers and neighbors. 

The City of Caliente will walk you through what kind of work needs a permit, how to apply, and what is expected along the way. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a DIY project or a contractor getting ready to break ground, we’re here to help make the process smooth & simple.
