This transition represents a significant change in Permit Sonoma’s business. We are doing our best to balance the safety of our customers and employees while recognizing the needs of our economy as we recover from multiple local emergencies in a row. With any big and sudden change, it will not be perfect. We will make mistakes and with your help get them corrected as quickly as possible. This nationwide emergency also affords us the opportunity to conduct our business differently, so please be open new business practices utilized by our organization.

If you have concerns, questions, or suggestions about these changes, please contact myself at Tennis.Wick@Sonoma-County.org or (707) 565-1925.

Thank you in advance for adjusting to these changes in this extraordinary time. We wish all Sonomans the best of health as we deal with another disaster together.

Be well, stay tuned, be kind, and remember that together we are Sonoma Strong!

Tennis Wick Permit Sonoma Department Director
