Campbell demolitionDemolition Inside the Town of Los Gatos
Inside town limits, demolition permits come from the Town of Los Gatos Building Division. The town's neighborhoods are very different from each other. Almond Grove and the streets around downtown are historic, with narrow roads and older houses. Glenridge is hillside with mature trees. Belwood, Blossom Hill and the Vasona area are flatter, with ranch homes, pools and some townhome complexes.
The same town rules apply across these neighborhoods: historic review for homes built before 1941, the tree protection ordinance, and construction hours. But how those rules affect a job depends a lot on the house and the lot.
Mountain Demolition Under Santa Clara County
Above town, most mountain parcels along Highway 17, Summit Road and Old Santa Cruz Highway are unincorporated. Demolition permits there come from Santa Clara County Planning and Development. These lots often have septic systems, wells, steep driveways and narrow roads that limit truck size.
Fire-damaged structure removal is a big part of mountain work. Much of it carries the state's highest fire hazard rating, and erosion control after clearing is important before the rainy season.
Demolition in Monte Sereno, Saratoga and Campbell
Monte Sereno, Saratoga and Campbell are separate cities, each with its own building division and permit process. Monte Sereno and Saratoga have large residential lots, many trees and hillside parcels in fire hazard zones. Campbell is flatter and more commercial, with ranch homes and many strip-outs around the Pruneyard and downtown.
We follow each city's own rules for permits, trees and inspections. The asbestos survey, BAAQMD notification and PG&E disconnects apply in all of them.
How Location Changes a Demolition Job
Location affects three things more than anything else: which agency issues the permit, how easy the site is to reach, and what rules come with the lot. A flat lot in Campbell can be faster and simpler than a historic house in Almond Grove or a burned cabin off a mountain road.
Each area page below explains what demolition looks like there, which services come up most and what to expect from the permit office.
Demolition FAQs
Los Gatos Demolition Service Area Questions
Do you work outside the Town of Los Gatos?
Yes. We work in Monte Sereno, Saratoga, Campbell and the unincorporated mountains above Los Gatos, as well as throughout the town.
How do I know who issues my demolition permit?
It depends on the parcel. Inside town limits it is the Town of Los Gatos. Monte Sereno, Saratoga and Campbell have their own building divisions. Most mountain parcels go through Santa Clara County. We confirm for you.
Is my Los Gatos mailing address the same as being in town?
No. Many homes with a Los Gatos address are actually in Monte Sereno or unincorporated county land. The permit authority depends on the parcel, not the mailing address.
Does location affect the price of demolition?
Yes. Access, slope, haul distance and local rules all vary by area. A flat lot in Campbell is usually simpler than a hillside or mountain parcel.
