​In California, a building permit is generally required for any construction project that involves the erection, enlargement, alteration, repair, removal, conversion or demolition of any building or structure.

According to the California Building Standards Code, no building or structure may be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has first been obtained from the building official.*

The code requirements vary in different cities and counties around the state. Therefore, it is important to check with your local building department to find out what’s needed in your area
