What the Turlock permit process actually involves — and how KHB carries your project through it, from drawings to final inspection.
Home › Plans & Permits › Turlock
Building permits in Turlock are issued by the city’s Building & Safety Division at 156 S. Broadway, Suite 130 (reachable at (209) 668-5560), part of Turlock’s Development Services. Complete residential sets clear initial plan check in a few weeks for typical projects. Turlock also stands out regionally for its pre-approved ADU plan program — city-vetted accessory dwelling unit designs that can cut plan check time dramatically for units built to those sets. Unincorporated parcels around Turlock submit to Stanislaus County’s Building Permits Division in Modesto.
KHB prepares and files Turlock submittals, clears corrections, and builds the project as your licensed general contractor (CSLB #1070537).

Turlock’s older neighborhoods — Crane Park, the downtown blocks — are where permit preparation earns its keep: plaster-era homes with decades of modifications need existing conditions documented honestly and the remediation designed into the set. On the investment side, the city’s pre-approved ADU program is a genuine shortcut, and we tell clients straight when a pre-approved set fits their lot better than a custom design. Either way, our drawings go in complete — structural calcs, Title 24, site plan dimensioned to Turlock’s checklist.
Whether your plans are stamped and ready or still half-finished, KHB picks up the Turlock permit process at any stage: completing construction documents (structural, Title 24 energy, site plan), filing the submittal, answering plan check corrections, paying and pulling the permit, and scheduling every inspection through final sign-off. And because we’re a licensed design-build general contractor (CSLB #1070537), the company handling your paperwork is the company that builds the project — see our general contractor services in Turlock.
Turlock Building & Safety is at 156 S. Broadway, Suite 130 — (209) 668-5560. KHB handles the submittal, corrections, and inspections there for you.
The city maintains pre-drawn ADU plan sets that have already passed review — building to one significantly shortens plan check. KHB builds both pre-approved and custom ADUs in Turlock and will tell you honestly which fits your lot and budget.
Often yes — existing unpermitted work must be documented and addressed in the new set. Done up front it’s routine; discovered mid-project it’s expensive. Our design phase includes that investigation.
A few weeks of initial review for complete residential sets, plus correction rounds if any. Pre-approved ADU sets and clean documentation are the two biggest accelerators.
Bring us your plans, your sketch, or your correction letter. We’ll map the exact path through Turlock plan check — and build the project when it clears.
