Planning Division

The Community and Economic Development Department’s Planning Division implements and administers the policy direction of the City Council and the needs of the community with regard to the City’s built environment, including its development and growth. The Planning Division provides the public with information about property regulations and is responsible for developing long-range planning policies and plans, evaluating development projects, implementing housing programs, and assisting with the Concord Reuse Project.

Virtual Permit Center (VPC) is open for business!

In accordance with State and County health orders in response to COVID-19, the Planning Division now provides services and accepts applications online through our Virtual Permit Center. The following link provides information on how to obtain planning and zoning information and how to apply for planning permits.  Concord’s Permit Pal tool can be used to obtain information on zoning, permits, and fees.
