Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety

The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety provides official information about building permits, plan review, inspections, code-related matters, and supported online services. Its website serves property owners, design professionals, contractors, and residents.

The project, property, permit, and professional role determine the required process and documents. A public guide or property record is different from approval of a particular project. Services apply to the department's actual city jurisdiction, not automatically to all of Los Angeles County.
