What Work Requires a Permit in Los Angeles?

The Los Angeles permit office requires permits for new construction, additions, alterations, repairs, demolitions, and changes of use. Permits are also required for accessory structures (decks, sheds over a certain footprint, fences over 8 ft, swimming pools), most plumbing and electrical work, mechanical systems including HVAC replacements, foundation repair, re-roofing, and signs. Cosmetic repairs — painting, flooring, cabinet swaps that don't move plumbing or electrical — typically do not require a permit.

When in doubt, the Los Angeles development services counter can confirm whether a permit is needed for a specific project. Check the city's official permit portal or development-services line; we link directly to the source feed for every permit in our database.
