Quick Steps
1. Complete and submit the building permit application or revision application.
2. Upload a completed permit application to this link: https://permits.redwoodcity.org/eTRAKiT/
3. The filename for the application must include the project address along with the words “Permit application.” For example, “1017 Middlefield Permit Application.”
4. If your project includes construction drawings and documents, please upload the files with the building permit application to the link specified above. The files must also be named with the address. Make sure to name the files with the address; otherwise, we will not accept the application or files.
5. Once you've successfully created your permit and have uploaded the proper documents, your permit will be assigned to a specific permit technician who will reach out to you with further instructions. Please note that responses may take up to 5 business days, depending on the technician's workload. For all other inquiries, please email permits@redwoodcity.org.
Once the application is deemed complete, the permit technician will ask for payment. If the amount due is less than $25,000, we will ask for an email address to email the invoice through Authorize.net. Payment should be made through the online portal. If the amount is over $25,000, a bank wire transfer will need to be made.
