Application & document organization
We help organize your scope, application materials, and outstanding documents with your project team before submission.
HOME / SAN JOSE
San Jose permit support.
From submittal
to next steps.
Planning an ADU, remodel, addition, or SB9 project in San Jose? Permit Support Services helps organize applications, coordinate plan-check responses, and follow up with the City of San José.
WORKING WITH THE CITY OF SAN JOSÉ
Match the process
to your project.
San Jose offers different permit services depending on project scope. Identifying the appropriate submittal path is an early coordination task—not a reason to assume every project follows the same process.
Electronic plan-check coordination
The City uses SJPermits and, for qualifying projects, SJePlans. We help track requested materials and coordinate responses with the designated applicant and design professionals.
Follow-up through review
We help keep review comments, resubmittals, and next steps organized. The City determines project requirements, permit decisions, and review timelines.
RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
Support for your
San Jose project.
Permit expediting means organized submissions, communication, and follow-through. It does not mean bypassing review or guaranteeing an approval date.
ADU permits
Coordinate application documents and plan-review follow-up for a new ADU or conversion with your project team.
Remodels & additions
Help organize the proposed scope, submittal materials, and responses to City review comments.
SB9 coordination
Help track application materials and agency questions for a proposed SB9 project. Eligibility and applicable requirements must be confirmed for the property.
SAN JOSE QUESTIONS
Start with the right details.
What should I share before we discuss my project?
Tell us the project address or city, your proposed work, whether plans are available, and whether an application has already been submitted. If your project is in review, let us know which comments remain outstanding.
Can you help with an existing San Jose plan check?
Yes, tell us what has been submitted and share the current review status. We can discuss organizing City comments, coordinating responses with your team, and following up on resubmittals.
Do all San Jose projects use the same permit service?
No. The City lists several service paths based on project type and complexity. Its official Building Permit Services page is a starting point for checking the current options.
What if my mailing address says San Jose, but the parcel is outside city limits?
Confirm the parcel’s jurisdiction before starting an application. A mailing address alone does not establish the reviewing agency. See our Santa Clara County permit support page for the county-versus-city distinction.
