Yolo County Department of Community Services, Building Division

Building Permit

The county's Permits page says 'Any owner or owner's authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure', or to install or alter regulated electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing systems, 'the installation of which is regulated by the Yolo County Building Standards Code', must first apply to the building official and obtain the permit. It says 'Most Building Division Fees are collected as two separate transactions': application fees for plan review, then permit fees for inspections, and that 'Most Plan Review and Inspection Fees are based on project valuation of the work covered by the permit.' On fire construction permits the page says 'The following fire districts administer their own construction permits: Davis, East Davis, Springlake, West Sacramento, Winters, Woodland. All other districts in Yolo County require Fire Permit applications to be submitted to the Yolo County Department of Community Services.' Fee parts are from the Current Master Fee Schedule (print date 9/14/2026).
