PERMIT FEE WAIVERS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES THIS MONTH: The month of May is Small Business Month.

This year, D4 Supervisor Katy Tang is continuing the tradition. If you are a San Francisco small business owner that has been thinking about installing an awning or pedestrian level lighting to your business's facade, May is the month to do your project and get your permit fees waived!
