Window Replacement Permits — San Francisco

SF Windows Permit

Window replacement in San Francisco always needs a permit — and in-kind swaps file online through PermitSF with no plans. PermitsPros prepares and files it for you: you describe the job once, we handle the application, the city review, and the inspection scheduling.

What this covers

  • Like-for-like window replacement, same openings
  • A whole house or building of windows in one filing
  • Windows bundled with door and siding work on the same elevation
  • Full drawing sets when a job steps up to them — the complete window service lives on our windows page

How it works

  1. Talk to Tony — tell him the address and the scope. Two minutes, from the job site.
  2. We prepare and file the application through PermitSF, the city's portal.
  3. City fees pass through at cost — you see them before anything is filed.
  4. When the permit issues, we line up the inspection — the sequencing is on us to track, not you.

Good to know in San Francisco

  • San Francisco requires a permit for every window replacement — but in-kind swaps need no plans and file online.
  • An enlarged or new opening is structural work and files differently — we flag it before anything is filed, not after.
  • Lowering a bedroom sill can trigger structural review on egress — the trap we check for up front.

Who uses this

Window installers running routes across the city, general contractors folding windows into a remodel, and homeowners replacing their own windows.

PermitsPros — we file permits. We never promise approvals — that's the city's call, and we tell you so up front. City fees are separate and paid by you directly to the city.
