San Bruno, CA Building Permits: Where to Search
AddressIntel does not track San Bruno building permits. We ingest building-department records daily from the San Mateo County and South Bay cities on our permit tracker, and San Bruno is not one of them, so the city's own permit records (San Bruno Building Division, linked below) remain the authoritative source for filings there. What we can bring to a San Bruno deal is the surrounding market: permits from the cities we do cover, plus teardown and ROI scoring across the Peninsula.

The free weekly Peninsula Plays brief
One email a week on Peninsula permits, teardowns and sales: what sold, what is sitting, and which houses just pulled the permit that says they are about to change. Built from permits, parcels and recorded sales, no spam.
Why Developers Target San Bruno
Across the Peninsula, older and smaller homes on large lots are being demolished to build luxury spec homes, and San Bruno shares the housing stock that drives it. AddressIntel's algorithm identifies those aging properties from Floor Area Ratio (FAR), recent neighborhood comps, and permit velocity, in the San Mateo County cities we ingest. It does not run on San Bruno, because we do not hold San Bruno permits or listings to run it on.

San Bruno & San Mateo County Building Permits
Where San Bruno permits actually live: San Bruno Building Division (MGO Connect and eTrakit). AddressIntel does not ingest San Bruno, so that is the system of record, not this page.
For a San Bruno building permit or demolition filing, go to the city directly: San Bruno Building Division (MGO Connect and eTrakit) holds the record, and we do not mirror it. AddressIntel's San Mateo County building permits dataset covers the cities listed on our permit tracker, which does not currently include San Bruno. That dataset is still the fastest way to read the San Mateo County market a San Bruno project competes in, and every filing in it is scored for developer ROI and teardown potential.

San Bruno Teardown & Permit FAQ
How many teardown opportunities are there in San Bruno?
AddressIntel currently tracks 21 high-probability teardown opportunities in San Bruno, scored by lot value, structure age, and neighborhood comps.
What is the typical developer ROI on a San Bruno teardown?
We do not publish a San Bruno figure, because San Bruno is outside our coverage and we have not measured one. Developer ROI anywhere depends on land cost, build spec, and timeline; our teardown ROI guide walks the residual land value model you would run by hand on a San Bruno lot.
Where can I find recent San Bruno building permits?
From the city itself. San Bruno Building Division is the system of record for San Bruno filings, running MGO Connect and eTrakit. AddressIntel does not carry San Bruno permits, so we would rather point you at the source than imply we mirror it.
Does AddressIntel track San Bruno permits?
No. We ingest building-department records daily from the San Mateo County and South Bay cities listed on our permit tracker, and San Bruno is not currently among them. What we do publish that bears on a San Bruno project is the surrounding market: permits, sales, and teardown scoring for the cities we do cover, refreshed monthly in the developer report.
