Demoing AND Rebuilding on One Permit

If you are demoing AND rebuilding at the same time, please apply for the appropriate permit type depending on your scope of work. Do NOT apply for the Marshall Fire demolition permits.

During the online application process, when inputting your valuation for the permit, do not include the fire related demolition valuation portion. This will ensure that you do not pay permit fees that are related to the demolition work.
