Building Permit Services Forms & Documents

 

BPS Portal is Live!
The BPS Portal is an online permit tracking and inspection system.

As of December 2, 2024, all first-time 100% CD submittals will use the BPS Portal.  Through the transition period, previously submitted projects will continue to use the email and Box system.
BPS Portal User Guide

Note: submittal through the BPS Portal requires a one time account creation.  See the BPS Portal User Guide for instructions and allow 2-5 business days for account activation.

Through January of 2025, the BPS Team will hold office hours for BPS Portal questions.  Office hours will be each Wednesday from Noon to 1PM in the Plan Review Room at 654 Minnesota and via zoom at https://ucsf.zoom.us/j/99507450504?pwd=H5LbriBZOWqvxs5w8oELslLp8ozOWh.1&from=addon
