Additional Permits

Depending on the work you're doing, additional permits may be needed. They include:

• Separate building permits for fire alarm, and fire suppression systems are required from the Mechanical or Plumbing Section. A certified Fire Alarm or Sprinkler Contractor must apply for these.
• Building permits may also require a separate plumbing, mechanical, and electrical permit. The appropriate licensed contractor from the Section that reviews, issues, and performs the inspection of this work must apply for these.
• In addition to a building permit for items such as above-ground tanks, underground tanks and commercial exhaust hoods, separate permits are required from the Fire Marshall, Air Pollution and Mechanical Sections.
• All construction work that involves encroachments, high hazard uses and special conditional use permits must be referred to and approved by the Board of Public Service before a building permit may be issued.
• If the project is in a Chapter 99 or 100 Redevelopment Area, the Building Division will request a letter of approval from the St. Louis Development Corporation - Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority before a building permit may be issued.
