The Basics of Building in Woodside

Thinking about undertaking a building project in the Town of Woodside? There are some basics that may help demystify the process for you as you move forward. A familiarity of the rules, gained through some advance homework, will better prepare you and your paid professionals as you consider your building objectives.

There are many useful handouts available at Town Hall or on the Town’s website (www.woodsidetown.org), as is the Woodside Municipal Code. Town staff is available for pre-application meetings during which you may consult with staff about your plans and objectives and seek information and/or advice about how to “perfect” your project and your application submission.

The Town is working to make the building process more user friendly and customer-oriented by developing application submission checklists, standardizing review comments, improving communications, and shortening review turnaround time by bolstering staff resources. We are working to improve all of our handouts and to develop new handouts to enhance your understanding of what is involved with building in Woodside.

This “primer” on the basics of building in Woodside is intended to provide an overview of what may be required of you as you begin the process.
