IS A PERMIT REQUIRED?

Permits are required to do construction work in Daly City. According to the California Building Code as adopted by the City, a permit is required to erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, remove, convert, or demolish any building or structure in Daly City.

This includes such projects as:

  • Garages, or construction of rooms therein (including secondary units)

  • Kitchen or bathroom remodel

  • Accessory buildings over 120 square feet

  • Patio enclosures

  • Decks

  • All types of plumbing, mechanical and electrical installations, including fixture replacement and installation

  • Lawn sprinkler installations

  • Gas piping and gas appliance installation (including water heater and furnace replacement)

  • Roof, siding and/or window replacement, garage door, furnace, and water heater

  • Retaining wall

  • Porch enclosure

  • Additions

By permitting and inspecting construction work, the Building Division assures that the work is done correctly, that it was done in accordance with the code, and that the health and life safety of the citizens of Daly City is protected.

A final inspection is required upon completion of the work. It is the responsibility of the person doing the work to call for, arrange access, and obtain a final inspection. To schedule an inspection, call before 3:30 p.m. the working day before the desired date and have your permit number available.

Homeowners, before any construction work begins, please make sure your contractor:

  1.  Has a permit; and,

  2. Obtains a final inspection after construction work has been completed.

Request to see the job card. The inspector, upon successful completion of a final inspection, should sign it.

Call us at (650) 991-8061 if you have any specific questions regarding permits, inspections or your specific building project.
