Development Tracking and Permit System Upgrade

Between May 11 and May 18, 2021, the permit system will be offline and no permits will be issued. Part of the Citywide automation upgrade is occurring this week.

The permit system has been taken offline, the historic data is being prepared for transfer to the new system and the system will be tested for functionality and placed in service before May 19, 2021. During this time we will continue to review plans to minimize delays.

The new system will provide additional options for permit and project submittals and status tracking, email notifications with project status, online inspection scheduling, permit research, payment options and in field automation to provide nearly instantaneous inspections results and electronic copies of construction documents.

We appreciate your patience as we move this new system to implementation.

YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SUBMIT PLANS AS INSTRUCTED BELOW DURING THIS TIME. WE WILL BEGIN THE REVIEW PROCESS AND MOVE ALL NEW PROJECTS INTO THE NEW SYSTEM ONCE IT GOES LIVE.

Instructions for Electronic Plan Submittal

  • Incomplete submittals will take longer to process. 
  • For New Submittals, a Standardized Permit Application (below) is required.  Complete the application for Plan Review (save a copy of the PDF form to your computer so when you fill it out it will save the data). 
  • For Re-Submittals, complete the Re-Submittal Request Form (below) and follow the same steps as the initial submittal process. 
  • Compress the application or re-submittal request form, plans, calculations, energy design and any other supporting documents you need to submit as a single zip file. Label all files and the zip file with the project address and tenant name, then upload using the widget below. This will ensure your submittal packet will stay together (See Help Example)
  • Plan check fees must be received upon project submittal.  Payments may be submitted directly to the permit center at 7000 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA. 94583, or customers may authorize fees to be charged to their credit cards by submitting a credit card authorization form (see below) with their project submittal.  Receipts will be issued for all payments received.
