BUILDING PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE

Effective as of July 1, 2023

Building & Safety services (inspections, plan checks, and permit issuance) for the City of Lawndale are provided by the Los Angeles County Building & Safety Department.

The City's base permit fees are ×2.0 of the permit fees from LA County. The multiplier helps ensure that building & safety services are fully recovered and helps divert costs to the General Fund. The General Fund is a financial source used to pay for other citywide programs and services.

Permit fees are updated periodically to account for the annual CPI-U increase in the Los Angeles area.
