Permitting and Planning

The City of Irvine has a well-earned reputation as a business friendly city.

The City and the Chamber ED team are committed to facilitating business relocation, growth and economic development. We understand how important the permitting process is during start-up, relocation and expansion. We offer the benefit of the City’s One-Stop Permit Center for concurrent review and processing, courtesy preliminary plan checking meetings, and next-day building and safety inspections to help you move expeditiously through the process.
