Planning and building permits allow for the City to regulate construction and development activity in Fremont to ensure all homes, buildings, and structures are safe and follow all guidelines and regulations. This is accomplished by examining project plans and conducting building inspections to verify compliance with the current California Building Code and local regulations. Every permit requires a building inspection.
