Community Development Department

The Community Development Department is comprised of four divisions serving basic community service functions:

The Building Division regulates building and use of structures for public safety through the application of adopted codes and ordinances including plan review and inspections.

The Planning Division provides public information services and promotes land use and development in accordance with City policy and applicable laws.

Special programs such as Community Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Program, and the Document Recording Fee Program are administered under this department.

Under the Nuisance Abatement division, common concerns subject to abatement of such items as tall grass, noxious weeds, junk vehicles and unconfined garbage on private property are addressed.
