Building in Arroyo Grande

City or county

Inside city limits, permits run through the City of Arroyo Grande. Rural parcels outside town go through San Luis Obispo County Planning & Building. Some neighborhoods, including the historic Village, have their own design guidelines.

Wells and septic

Rural parcels in the valley and the hills often rely on wells and septic systems, which shape where the house can sit. Confirm water before you buy.

Hillside lots

Views usually come with slope: a soils report, engineered foundations, retaining walls, drainage and access planning for trucks.

Fire zones

Parts of the county are mapped fire hazard severity zones, which means ember-resistant construction under Chapter 7A of the California Building Code and defensible space.

How the job runs

The same way we run every Harrod Built project: a licensed family team and one point of contact from start to finish.
