Approximately 530 employees support municipal operations and are represented by six bargaining units.
COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
The Community Resources and Development Department is staffed with 44 full-time employees and supported by an operating budget of more than $20 million. Serving the residents of Napa, the Department provides community planning and development review, housing and homeless programs, business retention and new business recruitment, wind down of redevelopment programs, building permitting and inspection, safe and clean neighborhoods and downtown parking system management through its Planning, Economic Development, Building, Code Compliance, and Housing and Homeless Services Divisions. The Department provides significant coordination between property owners, developers and businesses, and other City departments and outside agencies to ensure successful projects and programs. In addition, the Department administers and maintains the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, Specific Plans and prepares studies and documentation to address future planning needs.
THE POSITION
The Community Resources and Development Department is currently recruiting for a Chief Building Official to plan, direct, and coordinate the activities of the Building Division. Reporting to the Community Resources and Development Director, the Chief Building Official is a key member of the Department's management team and oversees a team of eight dedicated professionals including building inspectors, a plans examiner, and permit technicians, supported by an operating budget of a little more than $2 million.
The Building Division, housed within the Community Resources and Development Department, oversees the safe construction and use of buildings and structures throughout Napa. By applying adopted state and local codes, the Division ensures that projects meet essential standards designed to protect life, health, property, and overall public welfare. Staff review construction plans, issue permits, and perform inspections to ensure buildings are designed, constructed, and maintained in compliance with all applicable regulations, helping to support a vibrant, livable, and safe built environment.
The Division works closely with Public Works, Fire Prevention, Environmental Health, and other City, county and special district partners, and collaborates with Code Compliance, Housing, and Planning to address concerns such as illegal construction or improper use of structures. Equally important, the Building Division provides responsive support to homeowners, businesses, contractors, and the general public by clearly explaining development requirements, construction standards, and regulatory processes.
ON THE HORIZON: MAJOR PROJECTS SHAPING NAPA'S BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Napa is entering a period of significant development momentum and the next Chief Building Official will play a pivotal role in guiding some of the city's most high-profile and complex projects. Upcoming initiatives include:
Downtown Landmark Hotel & Paseo
A major 161-room downtown hotel and 78 branded residential unit project is now moving forward, bringing a sophisticated new hospitality anchor to the city center. The development includes a public paseo connecting First Street and Brown Street, improved pedestrian circulation, and a design that blends modern architecture with Napa's historic character. For the CBO, this project offers an opportunity to oversee a prominent, multi-phase commercial build with significant public visibility and interdepartmental coordination.
Riversound
Riversound (formerly known as Napa Pipe) will bring hundreds of new homes, commercial amenities, open space, and multimodal circulation improvements to South Napa. The scale and complexity of the site, from phased construction to infrastructure integration, will require a CBO who can guide consistent interpretation of building codes while supporting innovation and a predictable permitting environment.
Acquisition of the former Harvest Middle School
The City of Napa recently acquired nearly 28 acres on Old Sonoma Road for the development of a variety of City amenities that may include Parks and Recreation facilities, housing, and other community serving resources. As components of the plan advance, the CBO will be involved in reviewing structures, public facilities, and improvements that create a once in a generation community service amenity for the Napa community.
Measure G Capital Investments
Thanks to Measure G funding, Napa is making substantial investments in city facilities, transportation corridors, and parks. These projects will generate a steady pipeline of public-sector construction activity, requiring a CBO who can partner closely with Public Works and other departments to ensure safe, timely, code-compliant delivery.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
The Chief Building Official (CBO) leads the Building Division within the Community Resources and Development Department and serves as the City's principal compliance officer for building and housing codes. The successful candidate will guide, mentor, and support staff while setting clear goals and expectations that reinforce a culture of service, accountability, and teamwork, particularly in public-facing, counter interactions where tone, clarity, and responsiveness matter.
Because the role works closely with Planning, Public Works, Utilities, and Fire, the CBO must be a strong collaborator who understands the importance of integration. The ideal candidate builds strong internal partnerships, seeks input early, and works across departments to deliver coordinated, business-friendly solutions that support the City's broader mission. The City is looking for a leader who understands that success depends on collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to the greater good of the organization.
The ideal candidate is a responsive, relationship-driven communicator with strong customer service instincts and emotional intelligence to navigate competing priorities and strong professional perspectives.

This individual will represent the Division in meetings with public agencies, business and civic groups, design professionals, and community stakeholders, serving as a knowledgeable, solutions-oriented, and trusted voice on building, safety, and compliance matters.
The City is seeking a CBO who pairs technical expertise with strong administrative and people-management acumen. The successful candidate will participate in the development and monitoring of the Division's annual budget, manage resources proactively, and ensure that operations remain efficient, transparent, and aligned with organizational priorities. Equally important, they will be a supportive and encouraging leader who trusts their team, invests in personal and professional growth, and creates an environment where experienced professionals feel respected, heard, and constructively challenged.
This individual will provide clear technical guidance to ensure uniform code interpretation, consistent enforcement, and a high level of service delivery. They should be comfortable offering expert advice to staff, applicants, and partner departments, and adept at resolving complex code questions in a fair, practical, and solutions-oriented manner.
The CBO will also take on challenging and high-profile work directly, including performing difficult field inspections and reviewing major project plans prior to permit issuance. A forward-thinking mindset, comfort with technology and process improvement, and the ability to lead teams through change, including system and process improvements, will be key to success. The successful candidate will bring a positive, problem-solving approach to navigating new tools, evolving workflows, and continuous improvement efforts.
This position requires any combination of experience and education that could likely provide the required knowledge and abilities. A typical way to obtain the knowledge, skills and abilities would be: four (4) years of increasingly responsible building inspection and plan check experience in a management or supervisory role and a bachelor's degree with major coursework in either a construction-related field such as engineering or construction management, or a management-related field such as public or business administration. Two years of college-level coursework in structural, mechanical or civil engineering, architecture or a closely related field and six (6) years' experience may be substituted.
The position also requires possession of an International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) certification as a plans examiner and a building inspector, as well as Council of American Building Officials (CABO) certification as a Building Official.
