Welcome to Planning and Development Services

Building Plans

The places where you live, shop, work, and play are all connected to our department. We manage the built environment and ensure it fits seamlessly into our ecosystem. Our experts work to balance the needs of the community, while also adhering to laws, policies, and the requirements of businesses that help shape our communities.

We answer key questions such as: Where will future growth happen, and where will it not? How is your neighborhood changing? What types of new homes will be built, and will they be safe? How can we address climate change?

We also assist those who build in San Diego. Building codes and requirements can be complex and change over time. We ensure that developers and builders on county land are up-to-date with the latest rules. Is the design correct? Is the grading proper? Does the project meet all legal requirements
 

As part of the County’s Land Use & Environment Group, we are here to help you thrive and look forward to serving you.
