In order to better serve our customers we're making some changes:

• Microfilm Access Improvements

We are in the process of converting our historical Building Permit files to a digital format. This will allow you to browse permit records via the Internet. Because of copyright laws, only permits will be viewable via the Internet. Plans stamped by a professional (architect, engineer, etc.) must still be viewed at our offices.

During this process portions of our microfilm library may be unavailable for same-day viewing at our public counter. Please contact us at (714)738-6541 to be sure the files you need are available before you visit us. If your files happen to be out for conversion we can order them for you, usually within 24 hours.

• Appointment Service

To reduce your wait time at our public counter, you may now make an appointment with our counter staff to obtain a permit, get information or initiate the plan review process. Make an appointment.
