Get answers to common questions about the coastal development permit process in California.
A Coastal Development Permit (CDP) is a regulatory tool that ensures development projects within California's coastal zone comply with the policies of the California Coastal Act. CDPs are required for most construction activities, changes in land use, or other development within the coastal zone.
A CDP is required for most development activities within California's coastal zone, including construction of new structures, demolition of existing structures, land division, grading, excavation, and changes in the intensity of land use. Some minor activities may be exempt from permit requirements.
The CDP process typically takes 3-12 months, depending on project complexity, application completeness, and jurisdiction. Simple projects in areas with certified Local Coastal Programs may be processed more quickly, while complex projects requiring California Coastal Commission review may take longer.
