Department Overview

The primary function of the Building Division is to safeguard the life, health, and property of Shasta County residents through the application of uniform building standards. The adopted standards involve design, materials, construction, use, occupancy, and location of all buildings and structures within the unincorporated area of the County. This Division strives to implement these standards in a fair and consistent fashion while maintaining an open dialogue with the public and various building trades. The entire team values and encourages development by working across boundaries to help meet the needs of our community. The Building Division also serves as the code enforcement arm of the Department which requires timely investigation of complaints when related to ordinances, rules and regulations which affect the life, safety and property of our community.
