You can make an appointment to view the file on hand, and possibly building plans on screen.

1) Only the property owner or owner’s agent (via letter from owner) can request copies of plans*. (Anyone can look at the plans on the computer at the Permit Center). COPIES OF PLANS ARE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY ONLY, NOT PAPER.           

 2) If the plans are marked with the architect’s/engineer’s round professional stamp, or signed , permission to copy the plans must be obtained before copies can be made*. Anyone may view the plans; however, pictures may not be taken.

 3) If the plans are not stamped (or permission has been obtained for stamped plans), the City of Belmont will process the request for the electronic file.  We will need the following at time of appointment, or you can email to permitcenter@belmont.gov:

1. Proof of ownership or Letter from owner designating agent requestor
2. Signed REQUEST & AFFIDAVIT FOR COPY OF BUILDING PLANS (Health & Safety Code Section 19851) (LINK BELOW)

Once we receive your request a permit record will be created, and an email will be sent for payment of fees:

1. $94.06 for the reproduction request and architect/engineer search
2. Scanning fees ($0.30 per 8-1/2 x 11 page)

Once approved, and fees paid, the documents will be released online.

Permission to reproduce or obtain a copy of the plan(s) must be attained before requests will be made.  Please complete and sign the Request and Affidavit for Copy of Building Plans.
