Welcome to the City of Santa Rosa’s online permitting system. We have integrated our Accela permitting system with the Digital Plan Room (DPR), an automated system to aid in a streamlined and digital review process. You will be able to create an application record, upload plans online, review and respond to plan check comments, pay fees, and receive your stamped plan through the Digital Plan Room. Whether you are the property owner seeking an owner-builder permit, a contractor, or a design professional, anyone can register and use this system, however, the permit will only be issued to the owner-builder or the licensed contractor upon approval.
