LOCAL RESEARCH / Los Altos
Planning your work
Los Altos runs plan check and inspections through its Building Division and offers an online permit program for certain simple residential permits, while additions and new single-family dwellings require prior Planning Department approval. Confirm the address, the proposed scope and which permits apply with the City of Los Altos before work starts.
