Most jurisdictions have very different requirements for residential versus commercial permitting.
You will need to check with your local jurisdiction for the type of work you intend to complete. In commercial applications the following documents must be provided by the project applicant in two or more stapled sets to the permitting agency to obtain a building permit. The submitted documents must meet the requirements for stamping and sealing of professional consultants in the state where your project is being built. Providing a well developed cover sheet for your drawings with certain basic elements is usually the first step for getting the permit application accepted. Name, phone number and address of the applicant is probably the single most important part of the submittal.
