Foundation work in Roseville
For a residential fence or retaining wall, Roseville sets the permit fee from a construction valuation that's the greater of $2,400 or the wall's linear footage times the Table A rate. That's the rule in the Master Fee Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees running July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. A Soil Boring permit costs $435 per parcel, or $973 after hours. Grading plans for subdivisions and condominiums start at $4,044 for a minor plan, and a major plan takes an $8,000 deposit.
That schedule's year has ended, so ask the counter for the current one. Inspection requests go in through the Roseville Inspection Scheduler. By 9:00 am the following business day, each one is acknowledged and booked in the OPS Portal. Print every stamped, approved construction document, including plans, calculations and energy compliance forms, and keep them on the jobsite for the inspector. Permits run through Online Permitting Services on Accela Citizen Access, and a refund for a permit where no work was done has to be requested in writing.
