Permits and licenses for Danville addresses
Inside the Town of Danville's boundary, its Building Division issues building permits for most construction and repair projects, and addresses outside that line fall under Contra Costa County instead. When a floor job might need a permit, I check with the office that covers your address before work starts and tell you what I find, because a permit can add review and inspection steps to the schedule.
You can check us, or anyone else you're talking to. California's state licensing board says anyone in the home improvement business must be licensed in the right trade before advertising or bidding, and that a license isn't needed for minor work when the whole contract price, labor and materials included, is under $500. Danville's Permit Center also handles business licenses, so it's fair to ask about both.
- Ask for the contractor's state license before you sign anything.
- Ask whether they hold a Danville business license, too.
- Give us your exact address so we check with the right office.
