Oceanside Building Department 300 North Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA 92054

"Very knowledgeable and great customer service, especially from Jane Rowlen."

"I have been pulling permits and dealing with City Employees, inspectors, building and safety departments for over 30 years. I have never been to a more beautiful facility as the city of Oceanside building and safety department. Not only do they have a very informative and wonderful staff they listen to your concerns and do everything they can to resolve your problems and issues. Their professional attitude and courteous manner is a breath of fresh air, just like the ocean breezes"

"I’ve been doing business with the building department for 30 years and have only had issues with one inspector and by voicing my concerns, it opened the eyes of other contractors and city officials. He was fired! ! There was a time of the good ole boys” and that most small town building departments do business that way until the city gets bigger and the employees (inspectors) come from out of town , become more by the book. But Oceanside is by the book and still friendly like a small town. The days of cliff shaw are over ."

"I’ve overall had very positive experiences at the Bldg Dept. I am a homeowner who got permits processed for both an EV charger and solar. I have zero experience with a permit process so I went in pretty ignorant. The Bldg Dept took a lot of time with me to walk through the process, make things efficient, and get the work done safely. I learned a lot in the process. I’m grateful for the hard work these people do and appreciate their approach."

"I went in for work. I was promptly helped with great service."
