Most of Monterey County's population resides within incorporated cities, which manage their own building permits and zoning. The County Planning and Building Department handles unincorporated areas. Coastal development is subject to review by the California Coastal Commission, and specific areas may have additional wildfire or flood zone reviews.
The County has a strong emphasis on coastal zone regulations and environmental protection, particularly concerning development within sensitive habitats and the coastal commission's purview.

La autoridad estatal aquí es California Contractors State License Board. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
