Santa Clara County Resource Guide

Find the planning office for your property. Choose one of the fifteen cities or the county office for land outside city limits.

Which office handles my property?

Start with the parcel on the LAFCO boundary map. A mailing address can use a nearby city name even when the land sits outside its limits.

What should I bring?

Have a parcel number, a rough site sketch and photographs of existing buildings ready. Mark the entrance you imagine using every day.

What should I ask?

Describe the kind of home you have in mind. Ask which checklist applies, how to request a preliminary review and where the office posts current fees.
