The Building Inspection Division of the Community Development Department is in charge of plan checking, permit issuance and field inspections of all buildings and structures in the City of Burlingame.

The Division enforces the minimum requirements of the State Building Codes, State and Federal Laws and Local Ordinances.

We act as a central clearinghouse, distributing plans to other departments to assure that a project complies with all the city’s requirements.

Once plans are approved and building begins, the Division inspects the work in progress assuring that minimum code compliance is achieved.
