LOCAL RESEARCH / Hillsborough
Building history
Hillsborough incorporated in 1910 after estate owners chose to preserve its residential, rural character rather than join nearby cities.
Source ↗Housing context
Its incorporation history specifically centers on estate owners protecting a residential setting, a useful cue to expect detached residential properties rather than a downtown commercial mix.
Source ↗Planning your work
In San Mateo County's incorporated cities the building department for the city that covers the address is the permitting authority, not the county. The Contractors State License Board's consumer page on building permits states the California Building Standards Code position that work may not be erected, altered, repaired or demolished without a permit first obtained from the building official, notes that code requirements vary between cities and counties, and asks readers to check with their local building department. Confirm the scope with that department before work is arranged.
