Our staff meets weekly to review pre-submittal proposals. Once your proposal is submitted online, we will set up a meeting time to review the project with you.

If you have questions we are available during regular business hours, Monday through Thursday from 7:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. at the Planning Department counter, or please contact us at 760-955-5135 or via email at planning@victorvilleca.gov

Understanding the Development Process

The Planning Division is usually the first stage in the City's review process of development projects. During this phase a determination will be made whether or not the proposal can be reviewed at staff level or requires further public review at the Planning Commission and City Council level. As an example, the following flow chart provides the standard review process of a project that requires Planning Commission review, from the initial Pre-Submittal Application to completion of construction.

What is this invoice for?

If you have received an invoice from the Code Enforcement Division, then it means two things. First, a Notice of Pendency, or lien, has been recorded on the property. This lien is intended to notice all interested parties that there is an active Code Enforcement case and there are potentially substandard or nuisance conditions that exist thereupon. Additionally, it means all costs associated with administering the City's case are owed to the City and shall be paid prior to its withdrawal. The invoice was generated and is inclusive of all associated costs. It will not accrue interest, but it is best to first comply and then pay it so that the lien can be removed because these liens tend to prevent a person from transferring the property to another or refinancing the loans that use the property as collateral.

Lastly, if you believe this was sent to you in error or there are costs that you do not agree with, then you may contact us at (760) 955-5104.
