What the Dublin permit process actually involves — and how KHB carries your project through it, from drawings to final inspection.
Home › Plans & Permits › Dublin
Building permits in Dublin run through the city’s Building & Safety Division at 100 Civic Plaza, which enforces the Dublin Municipal Code for residential construction, additions, and ADUs. Complete sets clear initial plan check in a few weeks; many East Dublin communities layer HOA design review on top, and the two approvals are best run in parallel rather than in sequence.
KHB prepares the construction documents, files city and HOA packages together where needed, clears corrections, and builds the project as your licensed general contractor (CSLB #1070537).

Dublin’s housing is young, so the permit work is mostly clean structural changes — kitchen wall removals, loft conversions, and backyard ADUs on compact lots where setbacks and lot coverage need precise site planning. The sequencing trap is the HOA: city approval means nothing if the HOA wants the addition moved two feet. We run both reviews concurrently with one coordinated drawing set, which is the difference between weeks and months on Dublin additions.
Whether your plans are stamped and ready or still half-finished, KHB picks up the Dublin 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 Dublin.
