North Tahoe Fire District and Placer County Tahoe Community Development Resource Agency are rolling out a pilot program to offer simple building permit approvals from both agencies in one place.

North Tahoe Fire District staff will be available on Tuesdays from 8am-4pm at the Tahoe CDRA building in Tahoe City. Fire district staff will be available at the front counter to review and approve applications that do not require Tahoe Regional Planning Agency permits.

Since these permits must be reviewed and approved by the fire district and county, the new service expedites the permit process.

Residences and businesses located outside North Tahoe Fire District’s jurisdiction will need to obtain permit approvals from their area’s fire district office.
