We navigate the complex California permitting process for new construction, ADUs, SB 9 lot splits, additions, and subdivisions—so you can focus on building.
Navigating the complex world of Bay Area Permitting doesn't have to be overwhelming. At Bay Area Permitting, we specialize in helping homeowners, builders, architects, and developers streamline every aspect of the permit acquisition process. From ADU permits to SB 9 lot split entitlements, our expert team brings decades of combined experience working directly with planning departments across Contra Costa, South Bay, and Tri-Valley regions.
Whether you're planning home additions, undertaking remodels, building new custom homes, or dividing your property under California's SB 9 legislation, we handle the intricate paperwork, coordinate with building officials, and ensure your project meets all local entitlements and planning requirements. Our flat-fee structure means no surprise costs as your project progresses through the often complex plan review and approval cycles.
In addition to residential projects, we also handle commercial improvement projects including tenant improvements, retail build-outs, office renovations, and subdivisions for residential and mixed-use developments. From parcel maps and lot line adjustments to final tract maps and condominium conversions, our team has the expertise to navigate even the most complex subdivision approvals in the Bay Area.
We understand that each jurisdiction—from Contra Costa County to San Mateo and Alameda County—has its own unique set of building codes, zoning regulations, and permit requirements. That's why our team maintains direct relationships with planning departments throughout the Bay Area, ensuring your application moves forward efficiently and avoids common pitfalls that delay approvals.
