The county building department in County administers construction permits and enforces building codes for unincorporated areas and municipalities that contract county services rather than maintaining their own building divisions. There are 21 Building Departments locations in County, California.

Property owners in unincorporated County should verify with the county building department whether their parcel falls under county or municipal jurisdiction before submitting permit applications, as this affects which office handles the review and which codes apply.
