General Liability Insurance Compliance

Proof of compliance when performing construction or demolition work is required when obtaining and/or renewing a permit. Several factors will determine the amount of insurance requirements permittees must have, including:

if a tower crane is being used

if the proposed construction is on a one- or two-family home

if the depth of the proposed excavation work is less than 12 feet

if the proposed construction is on the lot line with an existing structure

if the height of the proposed construction is less than 35 feet

the height and number of stories of tallest adjacent building

the height and number of stories of proposed construction

the type of permit being obtained.

Compliance

To help permit holders comply with new insurance requirements, the Department has created a tool to calculate how much an insurance a construction site needs. Use the Project Specific General Liability Insurance Tool.
