Burbank City Hall Tours

Burbank City Hall exemplifies the architecture of the 1940’s. It has been photographed, studied, and filmed for many years. In 1996, Burbank City Hall was placed on the National Register as well as the California Register of Historical Resources. From the bas relief sculptures to the large murals adorning its walls, the building is truly a tribute to the craftsmen who built it. For further information regarding group tours of the building, please contact the Community Assistance Coordinator at (818) 238-5795.

 

Questions, Comments, or Complaints?

While Burbank residents have direct access to both the City Council Members as well as the various City Departments to ask questions, resolve problems or register complaints, it sometimes becomes necessary to seek the assistance of someone who can help residents navigate the City Hall bureaucracy. In such cases, the Community Assistance Coordinator is available to help residents resolve specific issues related to municipal services. You can reach the Community Assistance Coordinator at (818) 238-5795.
