Welcome to the Online Portal for the City of Pismo Beach!

The links below allow you to apply for and submit building or planning permits, request an inspection, submit a code compliance complaint, as well as a link to the business licensing website. The Online Portal was developed to streamline the permit process, reduce paper waste, and create a more efficient and transparent process for permitting.

• The 2025 California Building Standards Code goes into effect on January 1, 2026, replacing the 2022 edition.
• All building permit applications submitted on or after that date must comply with the new code requirements.

Please note, application fees are required to be submitted at time of application. Staff will email an invoice to be paid via the Online Portal. An application is not deemed submitted until payment of fees is received.
