The building department is created by ordinance in title 12 of the King City Municipal Code and the California State Code of Regulations Title 24. The building department is created to provide minimum standards for the health, life, and safety of King City citizens and its visitors. We are also dedicated to the preservation of our historic downtown area, and its unique buildings…

The building department is responsible for building plan review, permit issuance, and periodic site inspections to ensure compliance with current state and city codes, for new construction, remodel, and additions for industrial, commercial, and residential projects within the city limits of King City. The building department is also responsible for building code enforcement, issuance of certificates of occupancy and building addresses.
