FAQ

FAQ About San Diego Building Permit

  • 01

    When is a building permit required?

    According to the City of San Diego, building permits are mandatory before constructing, expanding, renovating, or changing the use of any structure. Major projects requiring permits include in-ground pools, retaining walls over three feet, roof structural changes, and most MEP work. Maintenance repairs under $1,000 and fences under seven feet typically don't require permits.

    Navigating these complex requirements can be challenging, to say the least. This is why our permit expediting services provide invaluable assistance to homeowners and developers throughout San Diego County.

  • 02

    How long does it take to get a building permit in San Diego?

    Without expert assistance, building permits in San Diego can take anywhere from 3-6 months for residential projects and 6-12 months for commercial developments. Our permit expediting services typically reduce these timeframes by 30-50 percent, depending on project complexity and jurisdiction.

  • 03

    How much does permit expediting cost?

    Permit expediting services typically represent just 1-3 percent of your total project cost, while potentially saving 15-20 percent in overall project expenses through reduced delays and carrying costs. We offer competitive, transparent pricing based on project scope and complexity, with free consultations to provide accurate estimates.

  • 04

    Can permits be expedited for projects in progress?

    Yes, absolutely. We can intervene at any stage of the permit process, even if your application is already in review or has received corrections. Our expertise is often most valuable when projects encounter unexpected delays or complex regulatory challenges.

  • 05

    Do I still need an architect or engineer if I hire a construction permit expediter?

    You have options when working with our permit expediting services. We can either complement your existing architectural and engineering team by handling just the permitting process, or our in-house professionals can manage the entire project from design through approvals. This flexibility helps you choose the ideal approach for your project needs and budget.
