In-House Review Permits

Larger and more complicated projects that are not eligible for Over-the-Counter submittal are brought in-house for review and are known as In-House Review permits.
 
Submitting New In-House Review Permits
If you would like to file a new permit application for an in-house review project, please email dbicustomerservice@sfgov.org with the information detailed below about your project. Please submit only one project per email and use this email subject line: New In-House Review Permit Request - [insert property address]. Your email should include the following information to help our permit technicians process your project more quickly:

  1. Please select the following permit application form that applies to your construction project and fill it out completely:

    Form 1/2: New construction (new building for single-family residence, multi-family residence, commercial)
    Form 3: All other construction work in any type of building
    Form 4: Sign permit
    Form 5: Grading/Excavation permit
    Form 6: Demolition of an entire building
     
  2. Please complete the following forms for each permit application:
    Permit Applicant & Authorized Agent Disclosure
    San Francisco Unified School District Fee Form (applies to new construction, horizontal/vertical addition, building enlargement)
     
  3. PDF copy of the plans for submital.

We will contact you to begin the pre-screening process in the order we receive your email. Note that we have received a large number of in-house review permit applications, so it may take us a couple of weeks to get back to you.
