Preparing owner authorization for a Lemon Grove deck permit
Lemon Grove's Building Division says property owner authorization is required for permit application submissions, and written authorization is acceptable. For a corporate owner, the city requests recorded proof of an authorized signatory.
If a contractor will submit the deck application, ask the city what authorization to provide and agree in writing who prepares the plans, submits the application and schedules any required inspections.
Provide the address and proposed scope to the city first to confirm which permits apply. Include changes to stairs, guards and supporting framing when describing the work.
