SB 1211 permit timeline
Ministerial review compresses entitlement from 12+ months to 60-150 days depending on jurisdiction.
Under SB 1211 ministerial review, expect: Day 1–14: plan submittal & intake. Day 14–60: plan check (corrections cycles). Day 60–90: permit issuance. Day 90–270: construction (modular faster, stick-built slower). Day 270–365: final inspection and certificate of occupancy.
Best-in-state cities (Sacramento, San Jose with pre-approved plans) hit 60-day permit timelines. Slower jurisdictions (SF, Palo Alto) run 120–150 days. The statute caps city review time, but enforcement is uneven.
