Form-O-Matic permit paperwork help

Find the building permit forms behind your project.

Searching for a building permit form is often only the first step. A single project may use a general application plus electrical, plumbing, mechanical, recycling, owner-builder, smoke/CO, or project-specific documents. Our form library explains the official forms represented in supported workflows.

Form-by-form explanations

Each supported form page explains what the form is, what it is used for, what information it asks for, where the official source is, and which parts Form-O-Matic can prepare safely.

Project-first preparation

If you do not know the form number, start with your city and project. Form-O-Matic maps the configured workflow to the relevant forms instead of requiring you to know the paperwork in advance.

Start with your city

Current Orange County jurisdictions.

Local rules differ, so Form-O-Matic treats each supported city as a separate permit workflow.

Independent private service: Form-O-Matic is not a government agency. Government forms and filing options remain available directly from the responsible city.
