How to Validate/Add Property To Account? (Ownership Validation)

The City of San Jose Permit system receives its property and property owner information from the Office of the Assessor, County of Santa Clara.

If there has been a recent change in ownership relating to your property, please wait at least 60 calendar days for this information to update.

If it has been more than 60 days and you would like to link your property to your SJPermits.org online permits account, you may request that the City link your account.

To proceed with this manual update, please provide a copy of the current Property Tax Bill (an image/picture is acceptable) showing the name of the owner, or provide a PDF copy of the Grant Deed showing recorded by the County and showing the new owner and date of transfer.

Please note, this does not change any owner information for the property or how it displays in the permit system or records, it only allows a new owner to link their SJPermits.org account to their property so they may apply online.
