Program Description

  Commercial Building Construction

The Commercial Building Construction program is responsible for ensuring public safety and performance through the effective adoption, application, and enforcement of commercial building, structural, electrical, mechanical, fire-safety, accessibility, and sustainability construction codes and standards. As the "First Preventers," this is accomplished through plan review and construction site inspections to verify and facilitate compliance with approved plans and regulations. This program processes applications for and issues building, mechanical, fire protection, and electrical permits. The program also responds to construction complaints as well as supports the County emergency management operations during natural disasters and other emergencies by providing property assessments during the recovery phase of a disaster.
