Pleasanton permits move between the Permit Center and Accela

Pleasanton permit work often starts with two tools: the Permit Center for routing and forms, and Accela for online permit records. Accela lets applicants apply for a building permit and view building, engineering, fire, and planning permit details.

The range is useful because not every project is only a building question. A tenant improvement, sign, fire review, engineering item, or planning permit may sit beside the basic building permit record.

Pleasanton business license work is separate. The city requires anyone conducting business in Pleasanton to have a business license, including a business using a Pleasanton address for advertising or state or federal licensing.

Before applying, gather the address, business activity if any, owner contact, contractor information, project description, plans, and whether the work touches fire, engineering, planning, signs, parking, or public improvements.
