Planning & Development Services
The Lakeside Fire Protection District processes all construction-related inspections, plan reviews, document reviews and signing that was previously handled by the County of San Diego. As part of the transition, plans and inspection appointments can be submitted electronically through an online public portal. For more information, visit the planning and development portal or click one of the buttons below.
Please allow up to 7-10 business days for all new and resubmitted plan types. If you have any questions about using the planning and development portal, please check our FAQ section below or send us an e-mail.
