General Liability Insurance Compliance
Proof of compliance when performing construction or demolition work is required when obtaining and/or renewing a permit. Several factors will determine the amount of insurance requirements permittees must have, including:
- if a tower crane is being used
- if the proposed construction is on a one- or two-family home
- if the depth of the proposed excavation work is less than 12 feet
- if the proposed construction is on the lot line with an existing structure
- if the height of the proposed construction is less than 35 feet
- the height and number of stories of tallest adjacent building
- the height and number of stories of proposed construction
- the type of permit being obtained.
Compliance
To help permit holders comply with new insurance requirements, the Department has created a tool to calculate how much an insurance a construction site needs. Use the Project Specific General Liability Insurance Tool.
