Building permits in the City of Monterey

The City of Monterey's Building and Safety Division reviews plans and inspects construction, separately from Salinas and Monterey County. Since January 7, 2026, building permit applications can be submitted through the city's online permit portal, which asks project-specific questions about scope, use and valuation and identifies the required reviews and fees.

Monterey also publishes express checklists for common projects, including bath and kitchen remodels, decks and ADUs and Junior ADUs. Completing the checklist and building its items into the plans supports a faster plan review. We prepare and submit the application for you. Details are on the city's Building and Safety page.

Building for Monterey's coastal climate

The City of Monterey itself notes that foggy days and high water tables can cause excessive moisture in homes, and that poorly ventilated or water-exposed structures can develop mold. That shapes how we build here: ducted bathroom exhaust fans, careful waterproofing behind tile and around windows and doors, moisture-resistant materials, and corrosion-resistant fasteners and hardware for decks and exteriors.

Monterey FAQs
