Code Compliance

COVID 19 NOTICE: In response to state and federal directives,

OUR COUNTER IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

This is precautionary and should not be cause for panic. We are working to maintain as much normalcy as possible while protecting the public. Please contact us via email at code.compliance@oxnard.org or your Inspector by direct email to make inquiries. For citation questions or requests for a preliminary review, please contact Administration by email at code.compliance@oxnard.org or by phone at (805) 385-7940 x 9.

Inspections will continue on an as needed basis with the goal of providing our community a safe place to live and work. We ask that non-emergency inspections of occupied residences not be requested until further notice. Any other inspections could be suspended if conditions present an elevated risk of COVID-19 exposure. This is a fluid situation and our processes will continue to evolve. Please check our website at www.Oxnard.org for updates.

Please follow CDC guidelines, such as the following: practice social distancing of 6′, refrain from shaking hands, limit gatherings to 10 people or less and stay at home if you are sick.
