Our Work In Action
We Know How Orange Works
All permit applications in the City of Orange go through the City of Orange Civic Portal, the city’s online platform for submitting and tracking permits. Kitchen and bathroom remodels involving plumbing or electrical work, room additions, patio covers, and pools all require permits here.
For ADUs, Orange allows detached units up to 1,200 square feet with a minimum 4-foot side and rear setback. Applications go through the Civic Portal, and a full building permit with plans is required after ADU approval before construction begins.
If your home is in the Old Towne historic district, additional submittal requirements apply through the city’s Historic Preservation division. We factor those in from day one so there are no surprises. We pull all permits on your behalf and manage every inspection from start to finish.
