Does my Rancho Santa Fe remodel need Art Jury approval?

If your property is in the Covenant and the work changes the exterior or footprint, it usually does — in addition to the County permit. Interior-only remodels are simpler. Greg checks your parcel first.

Rancho Santa Fe homes

Ranch-style and Spanish-revival estates on big lots, many with low original ceilings and separate formal rooms that owners want to open up.

Permits in Rancho Santa Fe

Rancho Santa Fe is unincorporated, so the County of San Diego issues building permits. Homes inside the Covenant also go through the Rancho Santa Fe Association's Art Jury, and some gated communities have their own review — these run on separate tracks, and Greg plans the timeline around them.
