Homeowner Permit Guide provides practical, easy-to-understand resources to help homeowners navigate building permits, plan preparation, ADUs, home additions, and remodeling projects. Created by Luis F. Miramontes, a residential drafting professional with over 20 years of experience, our guides help you understand the permitting process, organize project information, recognize common residential drawings, and prepare for productive conversations with building departments and design professionals. Our goal is to make the process clearer, more organized, and less intimidating for homeowners across the United States.
