City of Winters

Winters has city building regulations and issues building permits; however, a plain-language permit-required matrix or general building permit application was not published on the current public website.

Building code

1994 Standard Existing Building Code and 1994 National Electrical Code (per codified regulations). Technical and construction code divisions are published in the online code library but a current standalone summary was not provided on the website.

Permit validity

For subdivision construction plans, if construction has not commenced within one year after approval of the plans, resubmittal may be required by the city engineer to meet current standards.

1. 01
   Contact Winters City Hall to verify whether the project requires a city permit.
2. 02
   If the project involves a subdivision or land development, coordinate with the city because building permits generally will not issue until subdivision improvements are completed and accepted.
3. 03
   Submit any required permit materials and fees through City Hall.
4. 04
   Obtain approval before starting work.
