LOCAL RESEARCH / Gilroy
Planning your work
Gilroy states that a permit is required for projects such as new construction, additions, remodeling, repairs and extensions to electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems, and its published examples include window replacements, sliding doors, skylights, garage conversions, furnace and water heater replacements, and fireplaces and fireplace inserts. It asks anyone in doubt to call the building division. Confirm the address, the proposed scope and which permits apply with the City of Gilroy before work starts. This reference concerns the City of Gilroy; it does not establish requirements for a neighbouring jurisdiction or for an individual property.
