Building Division (Public Works Department) interprets the Building Code by overseeing the plan check and inspection process for all construction requiring a Building Permit.
The Building Official and a team of construction management specialists also oversee major city capital projects including those buildings authorized for funding by the voter approved "Measure D" of 1998.
Our website includes forms for most projects, including, building, re-roofing, solar energy, and electric vehicle infrastructure.
