🏗️ Planning to build your house?
Before construction starts, one important step you should never skip is your building permit.
Hindi lang ito requirement.
Protection mo rin ito as a homeowner.
A proper building permit helps you avoid delays, penalties, legal issues, and unnecessary stress during construction.
To help you prepare, here are the common basic documents usually needed:
📄 1. Lot Documents
✔ Certified True Copy of Title (TCT/OCT)
✔ Tax Declaration
✔ Updated Real Property Tax Receipt / Amilyar
These help show proof of ownership and property details.
📐 2. Complete Plans, Signed and Sealed
✔ Architectural Plans
✔ Structural Plans
✔ Electrical Plans
✔ Plumbing / Sanitary Plans
These must be prepared, signed, and sealed by the proper licensed professionals.
🧾 3. Bill of Materials and Cost Estimates
✔ Detailed list of materials
✔ Project cost computation
These are commonly used as basis for assessment and permit fees.
🏛️ 4. Building Permit Application Forms
✔ Filled-out forms from the City or Municipal Hall
✔ Signed by the owner and concerned professionals
📑 5. Supporting Documents
Depending on your project and location, you may also be required to prepare:
✔ Barangay Clearance
✔ Locational / Zoning Clearance
✔ Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance
✔ Soil Test for bigger structures
👷 6. IDs, PTR, and Professional Licenses
✔ PRC ID of professionals
✔ PTR / Professional Tax Receipt
✔ Valid IDs of the owner
⚠️ Important reminder:
Requirements are not always the same per city or municipality. May konting differences depending on your location, project type, and local office requirements.
But these are the common basic requirements usually prepared for building permit processing.
