Outdoor Living Permits in Coachella
Most outdoor living projects in Coachella require building permits for permanent structures like patio covers and outdoor kitchens, plus electrical permits for lighting and outlets, and plumbing permits for gas lines and sinks. Coachella processes residential building permits through its Planning & Building Department, with standard review taking 7 to 12 business days. The city has been streamlining its permit process to accommodate rapid growth. Niem Construction handles the complete permitting process — applications, plan reviews, and all required inspections — so you never have to visit the building department or manage paperwork yourself.
