Background: The Planning, Building and Code Enforcement Department is offering a new way for the community to get personalized guidance on their small building projects.

Pop-Up Permits offers a convenient way to get personalized guidance from a City building inspector or permit specialist and makes it faster and easier for residents and contractors to get started on small residential projects that require a building permit.

Participants can:
  • Talk to an expert about what you need for your next home project.
  • Start a permit application or get an online permit.
  • Have a City Building Inspector provide feedback on your plans.
  • Thinking about an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)? Talk to a City Planner or our ADU Ally.
For fastest service, come prepared with questions, plans and submittal forms. If projects qualify for Over-the-Counter Service, upload your complete submittal package prior to the pop-up and your permit could be issued at the event.

The event series is held in different neighborhoods across San José. For more information, visit www.bit.ly/SJpopuppermits.
