The permit application process at South Coast AQMD has changed over the last few years. While many of the changes were internal, you will notice some differences, including:

• Application forms available on the Internet;

• More equipment eligible for simpler manufacturer certification or registration;

• Convenient checklists to determine appropriate application forms and fees and to ensure that information provided is complete and correct;

• Table of most Common Operations and Equipment; 

• Permitting Staff Locator by types of equipment and sources;

• Application status available online or by calling Permit Services at 909-396-3385.

You can help us process your permit even faster...

...by ensuring your application submittal contains all the information necessary for our engineers to speedily evaluate and permit your equipment. Most delays are related to insufficient information or incorrect fees. We have created a fee calculation worksheet to assist you in calculating the correct fees.

We will promptly review your permit application to make sure there is enough data to begin the engineering evaluation. When your application is deemed complete, the assigned engineer will accept it for processing.
