Due to the increase of COVID cases, our front counters are closed. Please submit online at https://actonline.saccounty.net/CitizenAccess/Default.aspx.
In response to the County Health Order, we have implemented COVID-19 preventions protocols, including modifications to our submittal processes to reduce the need to visit our office.
Please be aware due to the demand and workflow at this time the following processes are taking longer to complete:
- Permit application approvals
- Permit issuance
- Plan review turnaround times
-
Emails and phone calls are taking 24-72 hours for a response.
We ask that our applicants/customers allow us to reply to their email or phone call as calling or emailing multiple times adds to the backlog and prevents other clients from receiving our services in a timely manner.
We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
