The City of Rocklin's E-Mail program is intended to allow licensed contractors to electronically submit certain residential permit applications. Once the application is received by staff, the permit will be processed. When the permit is ready for issuance, the project contact person will be notified.

At this time, the contact person will need to visit the Building Division office to pay fees, wet sign application documents, and receive the permit and job card. (Please note that work shall not commence until you have received an approved permit.)

The City of Rocklin Building Division's e-mail program will be limited to the following types of jobs:

• Residential Electric Panel Upgrades
• Residential Composition or Shake Re-Roofs
• Residential HVAC Change-outs ("like for like" only)
• Residential Change-outs Heater Change-outs (Storage Tank)

Before submitting the project by e-mail, is there any specific information I need to know from the City of Rocklin?
Yes. You should determine if there are any special development conditions for your project. Please contact the Building Division at 916.625.5120 for general information. In some cases, you may need to contact individual divisions. In addition, you should also determine if there are any CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) or other deed restrictions for the subdivision and/or property. You may want to contact the appropriate homeowner's association, if applicable, for CC&R information.

Before applying for the permit, are there any other agencies that should also be contacted?
Yes, if applicable, you should also contact the appropriate utility companies for possible fees and requirements. Please see our Agency Directory for names, addresses, and phone numbers of local utility companies.

An E-Mail Program Packet must be completed for each project address. The packet includes:
