The Building Department is responsible for the building and safety standards for design, construction, use, and occupancy of all buildings and structures within the City of Isleton. We provide plan checking, permitting, and inspection services for new construction, additions, renovations, alterations and remodels to assure all structures meet the minimum life safety standards of State and local building codes and FEMA Flood Management adopted by the City of Isleton.
Your development experience starts at our Planning Department located at 101 2nd Street Isleton, CA 95641. Staff will assist you with the processing of your development project and guide you through this somewhat complex process. After all of the reviews and approvals are complete, you will be ready to obtain your building permits. If you are going to do the improvements to your home yourself, you can obtain an “Owner-Builder” permit after completing the owner builder verification form or if you are not going to do the work yourself, you can have your California Licensed Contractor obtain the permits and begin your development project.
Our goal in the City of Isleton is to provide an effective and efficient service to our citizens, developers, contractors, architects, and engineers and provide answers to frequently asked questions and general information about the development process. The information presented is intended to assist you in obtaining information about development standards and requirements for the City of Isleton. However, if you do not find the information you need or have further questions please feel free to contact us at (916) 777-7770.
