Our staff wants to help you make informed decisions, know what to expect and fulfill City, State and Federal code requirements which will ultimately ensure your safety and that of others. The City of Susanville requires that you obtain a building permit if you erect, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, convert, or demolish a building or structure. This includes not only building construction or remodeling, but also plumbing, mechanical, or electrical modifications. All proposed construction must be in compliance with the current zoning regulations and construction codes.
These regulations and codes were established to assure well planned development and to safeguard life or limb, property and public welfare. The City has adopted the 2007 California Building Code. These are the current adopted codes in use by the City of Susanville:
- 2010 California Building Code (2009 International Building Code)
- 2010 California Electric Code (2008 National Electric Code)
- 2010 California Plumbing Code (2009 Uniform Plumbing Code)
- 2010 California Mechanical Code (2009 Uniform Mechanical Code)
- 2010 California Fire Code (2009 International Fire Code)
- 2010 California Energy Code
- 2010 California Green Building Standards Code
