Top ZIP codes by recent activity
Permit activity in Elk Grove
Igni counted 1,089 permits issued in Elk Grove over the last 12 months (Sep 2025 – Aug 2026) — down 40.4% on the 1,826 in the 12 months before. The forecast expects about 401 over the next 6 months.
The source's volume stepped up around May 2018 (×1.8) — likely a change in what the city publishes, so we don't compare year over year across it.
Forecast: Holt–Winters, typical error ±29% in backtests one to six months ahead. How we forecast
| Permit type | Last 12 months | Year over year | Forecast, next 6 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| All permits | 1,089 | Down 40.4% | ≈ 401 |
| Residential building | 973 | Down 43.2% | ≈ 317 |
| Commercial building | 116 | Up 1.8% | ≈ 60 |
| Trade (electrical, plumbing, mechanical) | 0 | —* | — |
| ADU | 7 | —* | — |
* No year-over-year figure: the source's volume for this permit type stepped up within the last two years — likely a change in what the city publishes — so the two 12-month windows are not comparable.

Counts are permits issued per calendar month as Elk Grove publishes them to its open-data feed — not a complete census; a change in what the city publishes moves them too. The current month is left out, and the most recent months are provisional. A forecast is a statistical estimate with a range, not a prediction for any project. Informational only.

Typical, not guaranteed: individual permits vary with project scope, application completeness and plan-review workload. Days are calendar days from application to issuance; applications still pending are counted as not-yet-issued rather than dropped. Informational only, not legal advice. How we calculate approval times.
Housing law — California
California mandates ministerial (by-right) approval of accessory dwelling units statewide, with a 60-day decision deadline and one ADU plus one junior ADU allowed on most single-family lots; owner-occupancy is generally not required.
SB 9 allows by-right duplexes and urban lot splits on single-family lots, and newer transit-oriented upzoning (SB 79) phases in from 2026.
