Construction is governed by a number of local codes and zoning regulations. These laws are designed to ensure a building's safety and its compatibility with the surrounding area. To obtain permits, the City of San Diego requires plans to be submitted for review. We'll send you information on additional approvals and drawings that may be needed. The homeowner must be present for the appointments.
Homeowners can prepare plans or bring professional plans for review.
They can do the work on their own home or hire a contractor to perform it. Should you have any further questions, a City of San Diego Plan Review Specialist is available by telephone to review your project with you to determine what you'll need to bring to Homeowner's Night. Because of the complexity of the permit process, you may need to make more than one visit to the department. If an additional visit is needed, we can schedule you for a return appointment. Parking is available in the Concourse Parkade or other pay lots in the Concourse area, or on the street.
