The City of Rancho Cordova’s Community Development Department focuses on Rancho Cordova’s future by planning for and bringing to life residential, commercial and retail development in our community. The Community Development Department ensures that as the city grows, development projects enhance our community, so that it continues to be a great place to live, work, learn and play.

Divisions

The Department includes three divisions: Building and Safety, Neighborhood Services and Planning.

• The Building and Safety Division ensures that every residential or commercial building is safe and updated to current building requirements.
• The Neighborhood Services Division’s goal is to grow and maintain strong and vibrant neighborhoods through five main programs: Code Enforcement, Animal Services, Parking Enforcement, Rental Housing, and Homeless Outreach.
• The Planning Division focuses on implementing a 20-30-year vision for the build out of our community, and partners with developers and businesses on new residential and commercial development, as well as remodeling projects.
