Getting a Building Permit in El Dorado Hills
El Dorado Hills is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, and residential permits are processed through the El Dorado County Building Division. We prepare plans for submittal to the county building department and manage plan check corrections through approval.
Our process covers site visit and measurements, design, construction drawings, structural and Title 24 energy coordination, submittal, and corrections. El Dorado Hills is known for its hillside lots, oak-studded landscapes, and upscale residential developments. Homes here tend to be larger, often on sloped terrain, which can add complexity to ADU and addition projects. We have experience with hillside grading considerations and the structural requirements that come with them.
We also serve clients in Folsom, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, and other communities in El Dorado County and eastern Sacramento County.
