How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to San Diego, 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.

Plumbing/Gas permit or Simple No-Plan eligibility check for water heater replacement

City of San Diego DSD says a Plumbing/Gas Permit is required for alteration, addition, or replacement of a plumbing system or portion of a plumbing system, and its Simple Permit materials list water heater replacements except tankless types as a Simple No-Plan Plumbing/Gas item for eligible properties. Water heater projects should confirm the City of San Diego authority and whether the scope involves tankless equipment, gas, electrical, heat pump conversion, venting, relocation, structural work, historic review, or other plan-required conditions.

SDG&E heat pump water heater rebate

SDG&E's official rebates page lists a $500 rebate amount for a heat pump water heater replacing an electric water heater through the Golden State Rebates coupon workflow. The page says users verify eligibility, choose a retailer, add the coupon to cart, review the qualified products list before purchase, and that post-purchase rebates are not honored. Products and rebate amounts are subject to change, so customers should confirm the current SDG&E and Golden State Rebates terms before buying.
