Unincorporated San Mateo County Building and Remodeling Information
Some properties in San Mateo County are not part of a town or city. While a property has a city or town address, public services are actually provided by San Mateo County, including services such as planning, development review and building permits. The zoning rules and building procedures are different between unincorporated county lands and their respective cities. The Development Review Center (DRC) handles permit applications for all unincorporated areas of San Mateo County which include: Portola Valley Ladera, West Menlo Park, Los Trancos Woods-Vista Verde, Menlo Oaks, Sequoia Tract, and Emerald Lake Hills.
To determine whether your property is located in unincorporated
San Mateo County, you can either inquire with your local city building or planning division, or check online with the
