The residential permit process in Los Angeles, CA, can be complex and time-consuming, with a number of steps and requirements that must be met before construction can begin. 

Here is an Overview of the Permit Process:

1. Research and planning: Before applying for a permit, you should research the zoning requirements and building codes that apply to your property, as well as any additional requirements that may be specific to your project. You should also plan your project carefully, including creating a detailed scope of work and drawings that meet the city's requirements.
2. Submitting the application: Once you have completed your research and planning, you can submit your permit application to the city. The application must include a variety of documents, including building plans, site plans, engineering plans, and energy calculations, among others.
3. Plan check: After you submit your application, the city will review your plans to ensure that they meet all of the applicable building codes and requirements. This process can take several weeks or months, depending on the complexity of your project and the workload of the city's building department.
4. Permit issuance: Once your plans have been approved, you will need to pay any required fees and obtain your building permit. You can then begin construction on your project.
5. Inspections: Throughout the construction process, the city will conduct inspections to ensure that the work is being done according to the approved plans and building codes. You will need to schedule these inspections in advance and ensure that all required work is completed before the inspection takes place.
6. Final inspection and approval: Once construction is complete, you will need to schedule a final inspection with the city to obtain final approval for your project.
