Permits

The installation or replacement of a window or windows requires a permit and inspection. This includes retrofit windows in existing frames.

Daly City issues window permits to the person doing the work. A homeowner who is capable of doing the work can obtain them, or they are issued to a California licensed contractor with a current Daly City business license.
