San Francisco Permits & Process

San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection (DBI) reviews structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scope; the Planning Department reviews anything that adds floor area, alters the building envelope, or removes/relocates kitchens or bathrooms. Combined plan check often runs 8–16 weeks for typical residential remodels, longer if Discretionary Review is triggered. We submit complete packages the first time and respond to corrections same-week.
