Some permits may need to be approved by our Board of Managers. To be considered at a board meeting, a permit application is due no less than 30 business days (about 45 calendar days) prior to that board meeting.

Project that trigger ONLY Rule C may be approved administratively without going to the Board of Managers. Administrative approval may also apply to existing single family home permits for Rule J or Rule D, unless they are after-the-fact permits.

Permit Application Submission

A complete online application must be submitted at least 30 business days (about 45 calendar days) prior to the board meeting at which you wish it to be considered. This does not mean that it will be considered at that meeting.  No permit will be considered complete without submittal of an online application and the requisite permit deposit and fee being received at the RPBCWD office. 

After the fee deposit and application are received by RPBCWD, the submittal will undergo a "completeness review" within 15 business days to determine that the required materials (typically described in section 4 of the applicable rule(s)) are included in the submittal.  

Missing submittal materials and/or inadequate information demonstrating compliance with the applicable rule criteria (typically in section 3 of the applicable rule(s)), will result in the application remaining incomplete. Rule A defines the RPBCWD procedural requirements. 

Additional Materials

During the review process, additional materials may be required to demonstrate that the proposed project and appurtenances conforms to the district rule(s). Typically, Section 3 of the applicable rule(s) describes the criteria to be evalutated. These additional materials and modifications must be provided no later than 10 business days prior to the board packet being distributed. This is typically 15 days prior to the board meeting.
