LOCAL RESEARCH / Palo Alto
Planning your work
Palo Alto states that home remodels and mechanical, electrical and plumbing work require a building permit, and publishes separate residential submittal checklists including one for windows, exterior doors and skylights and one for mechanical system installation or replacement. Confirm the address, the proposed scope and which permits apply with the City of Palo Alto before work starts. This reference concerns the City of Palo Alto; it does not establish requirements for a neighbouring jurisdiction or for an individual property.
