Forms
Please read the forms carefully, and be sure to include the appropriate application fee with any form submitted to the District. Fillable PDF Forms are not supported by all browsers. If you have trouble, try downloading and opening them in Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewer. Optionally, you can try a different browser.
Please do not submit ANY forms with ANY payment without first contacting the Air District to verify that you actually need a permit. Reimbursing payments made in error is a lengthy process.
