Building and construction related matters are channeled through the Building Services Division, which is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of City and state codes relating to the construction, remodeling, alteration, repair and demolition of buildings and structures located within the City of Arcadia.

The purpose of such codes is to provide minimum standards to safeguard public safety, property and welfare by regulating and controlling the numerous factors involved with development.To ensure that construction work complies with applicable codes, the City requires comprehensive plans for most types of projects and inspections are conducted at periodic stages of the work.
