Planning
The main purpose of Planning is to analyze and process all development applications including environmental review, plan check and inspection. The process involves an assessment of a project's consistency and compliance with the General Plan, Zoning Code, Commercial Design Guidelines, and other Town regulations.

Building

The Building Division helps to ensure safe, healthy, and attractive property improvements by facilitating issuance of permits, compliance with codes, policies, guidelines and standards. 


Code Compliance

Main objectives of code compliance are to enforce the zoning laws, and implement and monitor a sign enforcement program. The Code Compliance Program is designed to educate the public and increase the community's awareness of the Town's zoning and sign regulations. Violations that affect public safety are given the highest priority.


Please Note:
Information contained in building and planning applications is considered part of the public record.  Therefore, it will appear in both the public record file for the site address, which is available upon request, and on the permitting system on the official Town of Los Gatos website at www.losgatosca.gov
