Community Development

There are several divisions within the Department, including:

  • Building, Safety Division
  • Code Enforcement Division
    The City of San Jacinto Code Enforcement Division enforces the municipal codes and zoning ordinances on private property throughout the City.

    Additionally, Staff of the Community Development Department provides support for the implementation of the City's housing program.

  • Redevelopment Agency
    This agency defines and addresses geographic areas within the City that require redevelopment, due to blight, lack of affordable housing, and/or economic distress.
