Building & Safety Division is established pursuant to the mandate of California Health and Safety Code to facilitate the City’s development in a fashion that offers reasonable protection to the lives and properties.  This objective is achieved through implementation of the mandatory minimum building standards in the permit and inspection process. 

The Building Division serves as a contact point for the permit and inspection process, which involves several other departments and agencies.  You may contact those departments for specific matters within their jurisdictions.  From our Resource Central you can quickly access forms,policy bulletins and links  to many useful construction related websites, including our extensive Green Building links.  Please send us an e-mail if you have any ideas that can help us make this website more helpful to you.
