Welcome to the San Francisco Planning Department Public Portal
Starting January 1, 2024, projects that require Planning Department review must first receive a Planning Department Approval Letter before applying for a Building Permit Application to the Department of Building Inspection. Some exceptions may apply, and more information can be found here. Additional help about submitting a Building Permit Application can be found here or by contacting sfplanreview@sfgov.org
