 Like the companies that call it home, the City of San Jose values speed--whether in expediting a new development, moving people and goods, or finding trained workers.
The City of San Jose is committed to timely and predictable permit processing. San Jose was the first city in California to issue permits online using digital application signatures and payments.
"The City turned a permit process we thought could take months into an afternoon."

San Jose offers buildings and sites in highly desirable locations--near where the workforce lives, minutes from the airport, and in special incentive zones such as the Enterprise Zone and Redevelopment Project Areas.
The City offers ways to reduce start-up and operating costs through favorable tax treatment and financial incentives. San Jose's Foreign Trade Zone, for example, allows businesses to delay, reduce, or eliminate customs duties on imported products.
Mineta San Jose International Airport, serving more than 180 destinations, is minutes from downtown and adjacent to Silicon Valley's largest technology park: the Innovation Triangle.
All major freeway and public transportation networks in the region converge in San Jose.
On track to becoming the largest intermodal transportation center in the West, San Jose will be a major stop on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system and California's proposed high-speed rail.
Through its work2future
program, the City of San Jose helps businesses find trained
workers quickly. The current and future skill needs of local
companies drive this next-generation workforce preparation
initiative.
