LOCAL RESEARCH / Cupertino
Planning your work
Cupertino’s building division FAQ states that building permits are required for new construction, remodeling and tenant improvements, and that mechanical permits are required for installing or replacing equipment such as furnaces and air conditioning units. Confirm the address, the proposed scope and which permits apply with the City of Cupertino before work starts. This reference concerns the City of Cupertino; it does not establish requirements for a neighbouring jurisdiction or for an individual property.
