LOCAL RESEARCH / Los Gatos
Planning your work
Los Gatos runs plan review of all new construction, additions and remodels for both commercial and residential properties, and takes applications through its Accela Citizen Access portal, starting with a pre-application that carries the forms, plans and project documents. Confirm the address, the proposed scope and which permits apply with the Town of Los Gatos before work starts. This reference concerns the Town of Los Gatos; it does not establish requirements for a neighbouring jurisdiction or for an individual property.
