Permits & planning
Permitting and planning context
Malibu is incorporated, but coastal-adjacent and coastal-zone parcels also fall under California Coastal Commission review. Coastal Development Permits (CDPs) are typically required for new construction, substantial remodels, and additions within the coastal zone. CDP processing can add 6–18 months on top of standard plan check, especially in ESHA (Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas).
This is general planning information, not legal or permitting advice. Confirm specifics with the local jurisdiction for your address.
