Planning Application Checklists


As of January 2, 2020, all applications submitted to the Planning Division will be accepted through the City’s new MyGovernmentOnline (MGO) permitting platform, with the exception of appeals. For appeal requests, please use the appeal application form. Before you submit an application for the first time, you must create a user account. For more information, please visit the City’s Application Center.

The MGO system organizes planning applications into ten general groups, such as single-family home projects, planned developments, tree removals, etc. This page provides "Planning Application Checklists" for each application group, as described below. The checklists provide the specific application requirements for each application within the applicable group.

To complete an application please 'Register' an account at MyGovernmentOnline and then 'Apply Online' for the specific permit type as defined by the checklist. When applying be sure to: 1) Select the correct application type - incorrect permit types will be rejected; 2) Be sure to hit 'Submit' - permits which are only saved will not be processed; and 3) upload a completed Acknowledgement Statement in addition to all other materials requested by the Application Checklist.  

The City is also conducting a "soft" release of the new MyGovernmentOnline Connect (MGOC) platform that has improved functionality, and which may be accessed as this link.

If you need additional assistance, please contact the Planning Division at (408) 866-2140 or planning@campbellca.gov, or visit us at City Hall.
