A certificate of insurance or construction bond may also be required. PERMIT DEPOSIT - Residential and commercial permit applications require a non-refundable deposit. Upon Building Department approval of your application, we credit the deposit to the actual cost of your permit. If the Building Department does not approve and issue a permit, the deposit will help cover the Building Commissioner's fee for review of the plans. Non-Refundable Deposit Required
