Building permits the City of Carlsbad issued inside the city limits, residential and commercial, for applications filed in 2022 and 2023. Carlsbad issues one building permit per job, so re-roofs, solar, water heaters and HVAC change-outs are building permits here. Neighbouring Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas and unincorporated San Diego County are not in this file.
