Building Permit & Submittal Process

As a result of these unusual times, the City of Ione has developed new building permit application procedures for the safety of both the City staff and the public at large. The building permit application for construction projects within the city limits of the City of Ione can be found on the city of Ione website www.ione-ca.com. The building permit application will indicate by the type of project, the amount due for the plan check deposit at the time of permit submittal. The application should be emailed to building [at] ione-ca.com.

After the building permit application has been emailed along with all pertinent documents, you will be contacted by the City for the permit deposit payment which can be made over the phone (209-274-2412 ext. 110) by credit card (preferred), or a mailed check along with a brief message identifying the name and address of the project.

Other construction related forms may be required for plan review depending on the nature and scope of the proposed project. We will be happy to provide a "Submittal Review" on all electronic applications and plan submittals to make sure all that is required for the proposed project is complete, and ready prior to submittal, thereby saving everyone time and energy.
