Fresno County has a Development Services first stop
Fresno County keeps Development Services under Public Works and Planning. Its Planning and Land Use page is the county page for land-use questions.
The simple move is to start with city lines. If the address is outside a city, check the county Development Services pages before assuming Fresno city, Clovis, or another city is the right first stop.

California Porch explains the path. The official source is still the place to confirm the current rule, fee, form, map, deadline, or office decision.
Use the official page before you spend money, file paperwork, rely on a deadline, or change a property.
