New building code adoption; recommended Dec. 15 submittal deadline

Published on October 12, 2022

Beginning on Jan. 1, 2023, the City is required to enforce the 2022 Edition of California Building Standards Code. We encourage applicants to submit their completed pre-application package no later than 5:30 p.m., Dec. 15, 2022.  This will allow enough time to complete the process to convert the application to an in-process building permit by Dec. 31, 2022.

Each year, the City of Menlo Park observes city holidays for Christmas and New Year and implements a staff furlough during the administrative office closure the final week of December. This year's holidays and year-end closure result in city offices being closed Monday, Dec. 26, through Friday, Dec. 30, 2022. Incomplete applications or applications submitted after Jan. 1, 2023, will be subject to the new 2022 Building Standard Codes.
