A building permit is needed for all new construction in the City of Ripon. In most cases, a permit is also required for the replacement of existing construction, additions, and remodeling. Building permits are how the City of Ripon regulates construction to ensure it is safe for occupancy or use. This is done through the review of plans and periodic inspections to verify compliance with the California Building Code and local regulations.
