Repair In-Kind Less than 10% of the Structure

Instructions:
Please complete the form as appropriate. All fields are required. Once submitted, your request will be processed. When your request is approved, you will be notified and you may pick up your permit during building counter walk-in hours. We accept cash and checks. Checks should be made out to: County of Santa Cruz.

Note: "Repair in kind", means repair what was there with exactly the same material as the original work. Repairing the header over a door with another header of the same dimensions is "repair in kind". Enlarging the door and using a larger header, glue-lam beam, or steel beam is not. Please note that 10 percent refers to TEN PERCENT OF THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE. If your project exceeds 10%, you will be required to surrender this permit and will further need to submit full construction drawings under a new application with review by all appropriate agencies. Please refer to our Repair in Kind brochure for information on what is acceptable to apply for this over the counter permit. To consult with a building tech before you begin this process please contact the building information phone line.
