Small businesses and homeowners in San Francisco: permitting is about to get easier. Today, we announced reforms and legislation that will make permitting faster, simpler, and more transparent. These ordinances will cut red tape, save time and money, and finally make our permitting system work for the people it’s supposed to serve. Here are some examples of what this means in practice: ➡️ No more permits for sidewalk tables and chairs—putting $2,500 back in the pockets of small businesses and saving them valuable time. ➡️ No more permits and fees to put your business name in your store window or paint it on your storefront. ➡️ No more trips to the Permit Center to have candles on your restaurant’s table. ➡️ No more rigid rules about what your security gate must look like so businesses have more options to secure their storefronts. ➡️ No more long waits or costly reviews for straightforward improvements to your home, like replacing a back deck. ➡️ And we’re getting rid of outdated rules to give downtown businesses more flexibility with how to use their ground-floor spaces—because if adding childcare centers and gyms will help bring companies and employees back downtown, we should support it. In addition, every city department involved in permitting will track timelines and publish them online. We’re building one system—simple, accessible, and focused on the customer. And we’re not done. In the coming months, we’ll roll out a consolidated permit application and bring more of the process fully online. When we make it easier to open a business, improve a home, or invest in our city—we don’t just support individual success. We fuel our city’s economic recovery. We attract more customers, more residents, more small business owners—and with them, the revenue and energy that San Francisco needs to thrive. Learn more about the initiative at sf.gov/permitsf
