Step 1: Determine Special Development Conditions

Before submitting the project by mail, is there any specific information I need to know from the City of Rocklin?

In some cases, you may need to contact individual divisions. In addition, you should also determine if there are any CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) or other deed restrictions for the subdivision and/or property. You may want to contact the appropriate homeowner's association, if applicable, for more information.

Before applying for the permit, are there any other agencies that should also be contacted?
Yes, if applicable, you should also contact the appropriate utility companies for possible fees and requirements. Please see our Agency Directory for names, addresses, and phone numbers of local utility companies.
