Long Beach permit search

The City of Long Beach says:

The Long Beach Community Development Building and Safety Bureau works to safeguard public health, safety, and property through the plan check, permit, and inspection processes. To ensure that the minimum safety requirements and standards are met, most construction activities, including

alterations, replacements, and repair work in dwellings require permits and inspections. The following minor installations, repairs, or replacements may be exempt from obtaining construction permits, as determined by the Building Official. Additional requirements may apply in historic districts and coastal zones, in accordance with the City's Zoning Regulations.
