1. How much is a building permit and how do I know if I need one?

The cost of the permit depends on the type of work being done. Its better to call and ask if you need a permit rather than get caught without one and have to tear out your work. Call 215-3030

2. I have a San Pablo address, but when I went to City Hall, I was told I don't live in the city. How can that be?

Some neighborhoods in our area are not within the boundaries of any city. They are unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. The Post Office needs to deliver mail to these neighborhoods, so it uses the name of the nearest post office. Rollingwood, Tara Hills, Bayview and Montalvin are all unincorporated areas that have San Pablo addresses.
