About the Community Development - City of Long Beach
Welcome to the Community Development Department of the City of Long Beach, where we are dedicated to fostering growth, sustainability, and inclusivity within our vibrant community. Located at 411 West Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach, California, our department is at the forefront of promoting responsible development and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.
Please note that our Permit Center will be closed on Thursday, August 29, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for an all-staff training session. Additionally, our offices will be closed on Monday, September 2, 2024, in observance of Labor Day.
Our services include assistance with building permits, plan check status, building code compliance, and fee information. We also provide building inspections, inspection status updates, and a platform to report construction site issues. For those interested in zoning information, land use entitlements, ADUs, SB 9 regulations, and historic preservation, our team is ready to assist.
We are committed to community engagement through programs like the Neighborhood Leadership Program, tree plantings, and street clean-ups. Our code enforcement team addresses issues related to PRHIP, short-term rentals, and the garage resale program.
As part of our ongoing efforts to shape the future of Long Beach, we invite you to participate in an online survey to help create a new plan for the Downtown Shoreline area. Available in multiple languages, this survey is part of our initiative to explore alternative futures for the Shoreline and will conclude in early September.
Join us at our upcoming Housing Policy Forums, where residents, community partners, and stakeholders can learn and provide input on housing policy and zoning initiatives aimed at boosting housing production. We are particularly focused on promoting affordable housing through the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) by offering pre-approved designs and various options, including Junior ADUs (JADUs) and SB9 Lot Splits.
We are proud to announce the commencement of construction for 1400 Long Beach, a transformative 163-unit affordable housing project in the Midtown area. This development will provide much-needed housing for low-income individuals and families, featuring one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, along with amenities like a community room, outdoor courtyard, and children's play area.
At the Community Development Department, we are committed to building a better Long Beach for everyone. We look forward to working with you to achieve our shared vision for a thriving, inclusive city.

Reviews of Community Development - City of Long Beach
"Typically Long Beach is relatively easy to deal with in terms of pulling a simpler OTC/Express permit. However, their inspection request system is faulty, if the requested date is not available it just clears the form and you can't tell that the inspection request didn't go through until you scroll all the way down the page and there is a notice that says "If you are redirected to this page after clicking "Submit", the date you have selected is not available. Please select another date and resubmit your request." However, if you don't scroll all the way down the page you will never see this message. After having problems with the form I called in on a Friday they told me Next available inspection is next Thursday! I asked about Rush inspections and the lady I was speaking to told me that for $200 I can fill out a form for an After hours inspection. I sent someone monday morning to fill out the form and the guy at the counter told us it was $1400. I had them double check since I had just spoken to someone on the phone and they very rudely just said "14!". I called in and the person who answered immediately copped an attitude and said "Let me clarify this situation, the after hours inspection is $1200 and a minimum of 4 hours" When I asked her to clarify what a Minimum of 4 hours meant she transferred me to an inspector who was out on vacation for the next few days. The complete lack of empathy and customer service is ridiculous. The people in this office forget that their customers are the citizen of the city and we are just trying to figure out all the different processes and requirements. The attitude, rude delivery and constant misinformation doesn't make it any easier. ALSO PLEASE FIX YOUR INSPECTION REQUEST FORM ONLINE TO AVOID SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS."
"WORST CITY EVER! picking up the weekly trash that the city is supposed to provide the the residents! Horrible streets, horribly ran department, everything is horrible!"
"One of the worst cities to deal with, they do not answer phones, if you leave number for call back the will NOT call you!!!"
"This is the worst city building department ever. The waits are ridiculous. It’s worse the the DMV. They need to get a better system. ."
"It's decent for a government office. Very difficult to go there with pre-printed checks, always added fees"
