What is BUILDING PERMIT?

A Building Permit is a document issued by the Department of Building Official that serves as your official consent to commence any construction, demolition, addition, or renovation of your property.

Why Do We Need to Secure a Building Permit?

The Department of Building Official will analyze your submitted plans to approve and guarantee that your application complies with the Philippines' National Building Code (PD 1096), Fire Code of the Philippines (RA 9514), and your Local Building Code.

Acquiring a building permit ensures that the homeowner, developer, architects, and engineers follow the codes, standards, and minimum requirements. Proper architectural, mechanical, structural, electrical, and sanitary plans should also abide by the regulations.

Without a building permit, the Building Official may order the work stopped and prescribe the terms and conditions when the work will be allowed to resume. You will need to apply for the mandatory building permit.

Procedure of Securing a BUILDING PERMIT

1. Get a Requirements-Checklist and application forms from your Office of the Building Official. 

2. Go to the Office of the Building Official and submit the papers. They will tell you then where to go next, in this case, Assessor's Office.

3. You will be issued an Acknowledgement Slip that bears the date of your application's status. It's usually around ten working days.

If your application is approved and compliant with the National Building Code, they will give an Order of Payment to pay the necessary Building permit fees.

4. Present the Order of Payment at the Treasurer's Office and pay the fees. Fees range from P6,000 and above depending on your construction size, municipality location, and assessment plan. Payments in the provinces are usually cheaper than in the cities.

5. Photocopy the OR (Official Receipt) and bring a copy to the Office of the Building Official releasing section.

6. After five working days or more, go back to the Office of the Building Official's releasing section and claim your building permit.
