Required permits depend on the municipality in which you are in , the type of property you own, and the utility services already provided on-site.

Pocket Suites may only require Accessory Unit permits, depending on the size. If under the municipality's maximum accessory square footage, you may not need a permit.

Pocket Homes and Accessory Dwelling Units will require building permits and certificate of occupancy. Different municipalities may require additional permits and certifications.
Zone clearance and creation of site plan are the first steps in the permitting process. Once a site plan is turned in, it will take anywhere from 2-6 weeks for initial review, also known as a plan check. Once reviewed, the city/county will respond with comments and notes on the site plan, which will need to be addressed in additional submissions. Once all notes have been addressed and reviewed again, the city may issue a building permit.

Inspections will be conducted throughout the entire construction process. A final inspection will occur at the end of construction before receiving the certificate of occupancy. Once received, you may move into your new Pocket Home.
