Each incorporated city issues its own permits, either directly or through an agency it contracts plan review to. Homes in unincorporated areas are permitted by LA County Public Works, Building & Safety. Neighborhoods inside the City of Los Angeles, like Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks and Pacific Palisades, go through LADBS.
