Permit records in Santa Barbara County, CA
9 permitting authorities are cataloged in Santa Barbara County. PermitProof searches 3 of them automatically against the official source; each of those has its own page, linked below. The other 6 are listed here with what the catalog records for each: the reason no automated search runs, what was found when the source was researched, the official source where one is recorded, and the records-request route where one has been verified.
Unincorporated areas of the county are permitted by County of Santa Barbara, not by the city whose name a mailing address carries. Incorporated cities each file with their own authority.
Where a search cannot establish something, the report says so in that row - it never fills a field in, and it never reports “no permits found” without certified evidence.

Buellton

Carpinteria
Official source linkedThe catalog records the linked source as an HdLGov site, which research in a fast triage pass found appears to be primarily a business-license and tax tool - whether it covers building permits at all was not established, and the site returned an access error (HTTP 403) to the automated fetch.
Goleta
Official source linkedThe catalog records the portal as the "MAGNET" 24/7 Government Portal platform, identified from the landing page in a fast triage pass and not checked with a real address; it is not a platform PermitProof's automated search supports.
Guadalupe
Records requestThis jurisdiction does not publish permit records online. They have to be requested from the city or county directly, usually by phone or email.
When the source was researched in July 2026, the Building Department page offered only downloadable forms and phone or in-person contact, and the catalog records that no portal was referenced anywhere on the site.
Address published by the jurisdiction: asaucedo@ci.guadalupe.ca.us — as published on the jurisdiction’s own page.
This is the Building Department's permit technician. The city does have a Request for Public Records form, but that form publishes no submission address at all - only a mailing address and a fax number at the Administration Department.
Phone published by the jurisdiction: (805) 356-3903.

Lompoc
No online source recordedWhen the source was researched on a triage pass, the catalog recorded the city's earlier eTRAKiT portal as decommissioned and its replacement as a portal named Citizen Self Service, a name that resembles Tyler EnerGov's branding; the city's site returned a 403 error to automated fetching, though, and the underlying platform could not be confirmed.

Santa Maria
Automation blockedThis jurisdiction's permit portal is public, but automated searches have not worked against it, so PermitProof cannot run one for you.
The catalog records the linked source as an eTRAKiT portal, reported in local news coverage as launched in 2023. When PermitProof's automated search was run against it, every page tried on the cityofsantamaria.org host returned a 403 error on both the positive and the negative test; the catalog also notes that a 403 on every path is consistent with the recorded address being out of date, so the live portal may sit on a different host.
Solvang
Records requestThis jurisdiction does not publish permit records online. They have to be requested from the city or county directly, usually by phone or email.
When the source was researched in July 2026, the building department's instructions called for email or in-person submission only, and the catalog recorded no search portal.
Records requests go through the records-request page the jurisdiction publishes.
Records requests by email: aporter@cityofsolvang.com — as published on the jurisdiction’s own page.
Records or permit counter: 805-688-5575 ext 206.
