In line with the current Shelter-in-Place urgent Health Order (in effect through May 3rd), construction of single-family homes, multi-family, and accessory dwelling units, as well as all commercial construction is halted.  This will be re-evaluated later this month when we anticipate a new and updated Health Order from the San Mateo County Health Officer.

  • Grading:  If your project involves site grading of more than 5 cubic yards, check with the Dept. of Public Works for grading permit requirements.   For larger projects, 50 cubic yards of export or 250 cubic yards of cut and fill, Planning Commission review is required prior to Public Works approval of a grading permit.  See the Planning Applications webpage.

If your application isn’t eligible for streamlining, check out the Solar Energy Systems page for guidelines for non-streamlined applications.
