Planning Applications, Permits & Fees

Thank you for taking the time to review our submittal requirements for planning review of your project. We are here to help! For questions, please call 408-846-0440 or email the Planning Division.

** Please scroll down the page to access links to our submittal checklists.

New Applications: Submit applications through the Gilroy Online Permit (GO Permit) system via www.cityofgilroy.org/GOpermit. Page 2 of the Customer User Guide will help you set up an account. Pages 52-54 of the Customer User Guide illustrate how to submit and track the status of your application. 

The Planning Technician will review your submitted materials and inform you via email or through GO Permit if anything is missing. Once all required materials are complete, you will receive an invoice. After you pay the fees, a planner will be assigned to your project, and your plans will be sent for a 30-day review by the Planning, Building, Engineering, Fire departments, and other relevant agencies as needed.

After the standard 30-day review period, you will receive a letter from the planner outlining any actions needed to complete your application for final review and a decision. Typically, revisions are necessary, but we will do our best to help you through that process. If you have questions about the decision-making process, please call 408-846-0440 or email the Planning Division.

Resubmittals: Resubmittals should be uploaded to GO Permit. It is also recommended that you email the planner assigned to your project to let them know you have resubmitted.

Inspections: Please contact the planner assigned to your project to schedule a planning inspection.

For questions, please call 408-846-0440 and leave a message, or email the Planning Division.
