Facility Permit Program

The Facility Permit Program facilitates a rapid approval process for tenant alterations and improvements of commercial and industrial facilities. This includes:

• minor tenant improvements, including maintenance, repair and minor alterations
• major interior tenant improvements and remodels

Who can use the FPP?

The FPP is available to owners of commercial and industrial buildings, building management companies, and/or their tenants. The program best serves customers who have on-going interior tenant improvements and where facility maintenance, upgrade and renovation is frequent. A good example is a large shopping center with multiple tenants.

How does the FPP work?

The FPP is handled by a team of inspectors experienced in building, plumbing/mechanical, electrical, and fire inspections. All aspects of your project are reviewed by the team as a whole, thus expediting the process.
