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.

3. Does the City offer yard cleanup services?

The city provides dump vouchers to residents to help with the cost of hauling waste to the local landfill. Dump vouchers are available at the Community Services Department at 13831 San Pablo Avenue, Building #3, Monday through Friday 7:40 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except holidays. You must live in the city of San Pablo and provide proof of city address by utility bill (telephone or water) and drivers license. Each resident may receive eight vouchers per year. Call 215-3030.
