The new Resilient City Rebuilding Permit Center is ready to answer any questions and help guide homeowners, contractors, and designers with submitting plans and obtaining the necessary permits to begin construction. This Permit Center is exclusively for those affected by the fires and has been set up to ensure an expedited process is in place to help our community members rebuild. If your project is ready for permit submittal, our team is ready to work with you to review design drawings and projects to issue a permit for construction.
Resilient City – Rebuilding Permit Center
The Resilient City Permit Center is now open in Room 6 at City Hall (100 Santa Rosa Avenue) from 8am – 5pm, Monday thru Friday, and is staffed with individuals who will answer questions and conduct plan review and permit processing specifically related to fire damage. This will have no impact on the existing permit center and all permits for unrelated projects will continue going through Room 3.
