The Electronic Building Permit Submission Process in San Luis Obispo
There is a 6-step process that must be finalized before receiving a construction permit in San Luis Obispo, which includes:
Step 1: Construction Permit Application
If an Architect or Engineer has designed the plans and an agent is processing the permit, a Registered Design Professional Permissions form must be signed and dated by all responsible parties.
Step 2: Email Completed Application
The following information in an email to confirm the project details:
- Project Address
- APN
- Complete Project Description (Scope of Work) that includes floor areas for all new, remodeled, addition areas, grading quantities, length of retailing walls, etc. (link to our Permit Submittal page)
- Contact Name and Phone Number
- Email Address that must be used consistently throughout the permit process
Step 3: Upload Plans
All the plans must be uploaded in PDF format. Once all plans and supporting documentation has been uploaded, staff will route application to Planning for a zoning clearance and estimate the fees for the building permit.
Step 4: Pay Invoice
The first installment of the invoice must be paid to begin with the review.
Step 5: Plan Review
Once the plans have been reviewed, an email will be sent that will include details of corrections, conditions, school fees, and remaining fees as applicable.
Step 6: Permit Issuance Report
