Streamline Sacramento

Building Programs

Streamline Sacramento

open_in_full

Streamline Sacramento is a 2025 initiative spearheaded by Mayor McCarty and Councilmember Pluckebaum to identify improvements to the City’s development approval process with the overarching goal of increasing the supply and decreasing the cost of housing. Streamline Sacramento is a customer-driven, cross-departmental effort focusing on all aspects of the building permit process from submittal of building permit application, to plan review, issuance of building permit, inspections, and final inspection/certificate of occupancy.

The Potential Actions Table linked below reflects ongoing input received from the development community. These actions focus on ways to improve consistency, timeliness, and to make the development experience as efficient and certain as possible. To explore and implement these actions, the City established an Internal Working Group consisting of employees from the five departments (Community Development, Public Works, Utilities, Finance, and Fire) that review development projects.

Timeline

Streamline Sacramento is anticipated to conclude by the end of 2025.
