What City of San Diego permits say (not a price)
Permit “valuation” is the number an applicant writes on a City permit. It often covers a whole project (a house remodel that includes a fence, say), so it is not a price for your job. We show it only as context.
- 395 City of San Diego permits in 2026 touched this trade. Median permit valuation $34,791 (middle half $11,440–$130,000) — not a price.
- Median days from permit application to issue: 85.
