Questions
Anyone who undertakes development in California's coastal zone needs one, in addition to any other permits required by law.
Improvements to an existing single-family residence need no coastal development permit, except for classes of work the Coastal Commission specifies by regulation.
Check the Coastal Commission's coastal zone boundary maps. The digital boundary is not survey-accurate and may not remove the need for a formal boundary determination.
