Building in Woodside
Every city in our area is its own jurisdiction with its own review process. What's true in one does not carry across the city line — which is why this page exists rather than a single generic service-area page.
Woodside is San Mateo County, rural in character, with significant tree protection and many parcels on septic and well rather than municipal services. Those are real engineering considerations, not footnotes, and they belong in the budget from day one.
Permits. Work in Woodside is permitted through the Town of Woodside's building department. We carry the submittal and the plan-check corrections — that is our job, not yours.

What a Woodside project costs
We publish our real ranges rather than making you book a call to find them out, and our minimum project size is $20,000. What moves a number in Woodside is rarely the finishes — it is the site, the utilities and what turns up once something is opened.
Public record
Permits and ADU rules in Woodside
These are links to the city's own pages, not our summary of them. We carry the submittal and the plan-check corrections on a project we build, so this is not information you have to act on yourself. It is here because you should be able to check it either way.
Woodside approves ADUs on a building permit alone, but review runs through the Town, the Woodside Fire Protection District and San Mateo County Environmental Health. On a septic parcel that last one is not a formality.
Pre-approved ADU plans. Woodside runs a pre-approved ADU plan program and is still building out its public gallery. Since AB 1332 took effect on January 1, 2025, California cities have had to run a pre-approved ADU plan program and post the approved plans publicly. Where a usable plan exists it can take real time and design cost out of a project, because the design has already been reviewed and only the site-specific work is left.

Links checked August 2026 and pointing at government pages. Cities change both their pages and their rules, so confirm anything current with the Town of Woodside's building department. We deliberately do not publish Woodside permit fees or review times here: those move, they vary by project, and a number that is out of date is worse than no number at all.
