“The Community Development Department is dedicated to serving the community, protecting the quality of life, preserving property values, and improving the built and natural environment.”

That’s our mission.  Responsibilities range from issuing building permits and business licenses to code enforcement, design review, zoning administration, implementation of the MAP (Monrovia Area Partnership) program, Art in Public Places and historic preservation.

The Community Development Department is comprised of three Divisions:

• Building (Permits, Inspections, Title 24)
• Neighborhood and Business Services (Code Enforcement, Business Licenses, Housing,  MAP)
• Planning (Zoning, Historic Preservation)

The City of Monrovia is a vibrant community that is rich in history and opportunity. Our team is honored to play a role in creating a community that offers a premier quality of life. Commitment to excellent customer service is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to ensure our services are efficient, helpful, and positive.

As we continue to serve and support the community, I welcome your feedback on enhancing our services to meet your needs. Your input helps us grow and ensures we remain a valuable resource for everyone who calls Monrovia home.

It is our privilege to assist you, whether in person, on the phone, or electronically. Thank you for allowing us to serve this incredible City.
