San Joaquin County planning starts with the Planning Division
San Joaquin County’s Planning Division runs county plans. That includes the General Plan and Development Title. The Community Development page ties this work to the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission.
Start there for county-level land-use questions. If the address is inside a city, check the city too. The map matters before the rulebook does.
