Building Permits in Philadelphia

Whether you are building a new apartment complex, altering a residential building, or are completing a tenant fit-out, you are going to need a building (or alterations) permit. If your project induces any of the following descriptions: build, demolish, repair, change, add(ition), install, then you will need a Philadelphia building permit. The installation of equipment systems also require a building permit.

Philadelphia’s building permit applications apply to a wide-range of projects.  For example, a building permit is needed for the installation of signs.  In addition, the city’s Certificate of Occupancy (which every building technically requires) is a building permit application. So when registering a building’s occupancy or seeking to change occupancy classification, you will be going through the process to secure a building permit.
