🌟 Faces of Saratoga Friday: Meet Troy Gobrera! 🌟

Say hello to Troy Gobrera, one of the friendly faces behind the counter in our Building Department!

With 14 years of experience as a Permit Technician, including the last 3 years with the City of Saratoga, Troy knows a thing or two about building permits! 🏡🔨

What does he love most about his job? Helping residents, contractors, and business owners navigate the building process and making their projects a little easier along the way. His experience, patience, and dedication to customer service make him a valued member of our team.

Outside of work, Troy is a proud father of three and grandfather of one! ❤️

Thank you, Troy, for your commitment to helping our community and making Saratoga a great place to live and work!
