How to use this page
Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to Los Angeles, CA. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.
Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.
Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

LADBS Express Permits include comfort heating and comfort cooling installations and addition of air-conditioning equipment rated 5 tons or less among HVAC work eligible for express permitting. HVAC replacement projects should confirm express-permit eligibility with LADBS before applying, because scopes that need plan review must use the broader LADBS plan review and permitting process.
