Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Montebello?
Yes. In California, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Montebello is no exception.
When concealed drain, waste, vent, or water pipe becomes defective and is removed and replaced with new material, it is new work that requires a permit and inspection (CRC R105.2 Plumbing item 1). Ordinary repairs do not include adding, altering, replacing, or relocating water supply, drainage, gas, or vent piping (CRC R105.2.2). For a single-family home built on or before January 1, 1994, noncompliant toilets, showerheads, and interior faucets must be replaced with water-conserving fixtures as a condition of final permit approval (Civil Code 1101.4).
