May is around the corner and the Permit Services Center is busy preparing for Building Safety Month. As a prelude to Building Safety Month, we'd like to introduce you to the Permit Services Center and tell you a little bit about what we do.
Meet the PSC
City’s Permit Services Center or as we call
it, the PSC is a one-stop center for the community to receive a
variety of services. It is the central
point of contact for citizens looking to make changes to their homes or start
businesses in Glendale. The City has
brought together the key sections that review plans and applications needed in
obtaining building permits that alter buildings or authorize new buildings. We work with a variety of people from homeowners to
contractors and developers; and we oversee a wide range of projects from simple
remodels to high rise developments.
Who We Are
The Permit Services Center is a part of the Community Development Department (CDD). Representatives from CDD’s Building & Safety, Design Review, Zoning and Code Enforcement staff are available at the PSC. Staff from the Glendale Fire Department and the Public Works’ Engineering and Traffic & Transportation Sections are also represented. Everyone works together to review plans and proposals for their specific area of expertise. Our goal is to make your interaction with the City as efficient as possible while ensuring that your project meets the minimum levels of safety, accessibility and energy conservation.

certificates, licenses and permits within the City including, dog licenses,
business registration certificates and operator licenses.
