Orange County Building Permits · Form-O-Matic

Does Form-O-Matic submit my building permit to the city or county?

No. The service prepares the configured permit paperwork; you submit it to the applicable agency unless a future filing service is expressly offered.

California · Updated 2026-09-22

No. A generated permit package is prepared paperwork, not a government submission.

After generation, review the documents, provide required signatures and supporting materials, then submit them using the filing method required by the applicable city or county. Government permit, plan-review, inspection, and other agency fees are separate from the Form-O-Matic preparation fee.

If Form-O-Matic later offers a filing or submission service for a particular jurisdiction, that service will be clearly identified before any information is sent to a government agency.

Important: Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and can change. Form-O-Matic prepares configured paperwork but does not issue permits or guarantee government approval.
