What commercial permits are on file at this address?
Type a street address in one of 18 Bay Area cities and counties and see every commercial building permit the city published for it, Apr 25 to Oct 8, 2026.
How this works
- Permit records only
No owner, no parcel
You get the permits the city published: what was filed or issued, the value, the stage and the general contractor when the city names one. Nothing about who owns the property.
- Delayed
Two weeks and older
Permits from the last 14 days are in Permit Watch, the paid weekly list.
- Commercial
No homes
Home permits aren't listed. Each city's own permit search covers those; the link is on its city page.
Type an address to look it up.

Permit search
The same records, by city and trade instead of by address.
Matching is on the street number and name as the city wrote it (suites are ignored), so an address the city spells differently can be missed; try fewer words. A permit doesn't guarantee a project goes ahead. Copied from public permit records as published and not independently verified. Built October 22, 2026. How we sort records.
