Hillsborough operates as an incorporated town with its own planning and building department, its own Architectural Review Board, and zoning standards that reflect the character of a low-density, estate-scale residential community. Projects here often involve larger lot sizes, more complex landscape and grading considerations, and stricter review of exterior design changes. This is meaningfully different from a San Francisco remodel, where density, lot size, and multi-department permit processes present a different set of challenges. Our team works regularly across the Peninsula and understands the specific review processes and standards that apply in Hillsborough.
