The question is often asked: "What does the Building Division do for the city?"  The Building Division was established to protect those who live and work in Carlsbad by enforcing the standards of building and safety put forth in the state Building Codes and various municipal codes and policies.

Whether the project is a home improvement or a commercial renovation, the department staff is ready to provide support during every phase of the building permit process. Staff's primary goal is to provide the best experience possible. Assistance is available Monday through Friday at the city's offices on Faraday, on the phone or through email.

Look for even more online services in the future and, as always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
