Lady answering the calls at the front is rude and seems to just forward your calls to another dept. Trying to call back but now no one is answering. It seems like having good customer service now and days is too much to ask for. Dislike the fact that people working for the city or county feel so entitled.

The county building department is so awesome. They are friendly and their online portal saves a lot of time and stress.

Easy to find, registered with their online queueing portal, was able to meet with someone within 5 minutes of arrival and she solved my problem in 2 seconds.

I’ve been going to the Sonoma county building department for some years now and every time I leave, I’m either stressed out or angry beyond belief. This place is an absolute mess. Get it together hire staff or better yet staff who actually know what they’re talking about. All we are trying to do is build homes in Sonoma County for people that need them and this department makes it so incredibly stressful it’s beyond belief.

You should have all the documents...it's all submitted online at the moment...when you submit they will review the documents for completeness, and tell you if you application is complete. There's always some niggly thing they want. It can take up to 3 months or poss more, depends what you're doing

What is the minimum lot size needed to build on a county lot that is type RES Lot. the lot size in question is 2760 SQFT.

Brendan Coen | Aug 20, 2020

I not the county fortunately! I don't think there's a minimum on a sewer lot, you just have to meet the setbacks. I think it's 5000 square feet on septic, but good luck engineering a septic system on a lot of that size!
