Welcome to the San Francisco Planning Department Public Portal
Projects that require Planning Department review must receive a Planning Department Approval Letter before applying for a Building Permit Application with the Department of Building Inspection (DBI). Please review the planning approval process before you begin.
If you start an application and there is 10 MINUTES OF INACTIVITY you will lose all entered data.
The following Planning Applications are available for filing via the Public Portal. Visit our website for more information on these and other applications:
- Project Profile (PRJ)
- Short Term Rental (STR)
- Zoning Administrator Determination Letter (ZAD)
- Zoning Administrator Verification Letter (ZAV)
- Planning Code Violations/Complaints (ENF) *
* To file a Planning Code Violation anonymously, click on the Planning tab next to Home (above) and select “Submit an Application”. Complaints may be filed free-of-charge. Visit Code Enforcement to review what complaint issues are considered a Planning Code violation.
