I’m interested in remodeling my house? How do I go about this process?
To help the Community Development Department staff assist you, start by drawing up a floor layout of the house as it currently is and incorporate the proposed changes. (See the Floor Plan Example)

At this point, this drawing does not need to be produced by a licensed Architect, Engineer, and or Designer. It is acceptable to be done by anyone that is capable of identifying the exterior walls, interior walls, room uses, doors, windows, and specific areas in question that will be considered for the initial review by staff.

Once completed, bring to the Community Development Department within City Hall which is located at 425 S. Mission Dr. (626) 308-2806. Start with the Planning Division and next speak with someone within the Building Division for guidance on the next steps needed for your submittal requirements.
