Community Development Department

The County has launched Accela, a new web-based permitting application. Customers can apply for permits, make payments, and monitor the status of their project 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For Building Inspections, emergency permit situations, or any other urgent matter during this time, call (209) 468-3121 or email building@sjgov.org.

Building permits and building permit applications currently in our Gopost portal can be linked to our new Accela permitting platform via a PIN (personal identification number). Please request your PIN by email to building@sjgov.org or by calling (209) 468-3121. Also, a link to our new permitting software is provided on the Community Development webpage and our Gopost log-in page. Please create an account in our new Accela platform and once you are registered, create an application and choose PIN record. Use your PIN to link your existing project records.
