Two Counties, Two Ways to Get a Permit
Where your home sits decides which office handles a bathroom permit. The two Orange County cities run their own building departments. In La Habra, plans are reviewed and permitted work inspected by the Building & Safety Division within Community and Economic Development, and applications go in online through the city’s portal or at the permit counter. Brea takes applications through its Online Permit Center or by email to its Building division.
South Whittier, Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights have no city government, so their permits come from Los Angeles County Public Works. Its Building and Safety Division runs EPIC-LA, the online portal used for permit applications and inspection requests in the county’s unincorporated areas.
Which county area are you in? Los Angeles County lists Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights as unincorporated areas in Supervisorial District 1, and South Whittier in District 4. South Whittier uses Whittier ZIP codes, and the county’s own South Whittier Library has a Whittier mailing address, so the name on your mail isn’t always a reliable guide to which office issues the permit.
What Stays the Same Across the Area
Some rules come from the state and form the same starting point in all five places. The California Plumbing Code is the base code everywhere here, and it sets a shower’s minimum size and curb height. SB 407 reaches every town as well: for a single-family home built and available for use on or before January 1, 1994, the person applying for a permit to alter it has to fit water-conserving fixtures in place of noncompliant ones, a condition of the final sign-off on the permit, with some exemptions written into the law.
Rebates for water-saving fixtures are where the towns can differ. They come through water agencies, and SoCal Water$mart, the regional program, says its amounts can vary by agency and depend on funding, so check with your own water supplier before an old toilet comes out.
We’re licensed and insured in every one of these places, and there’s no charge for the estimate. Each job finishes with the room cleaned up. Every service we offer is listed on our homepage, under bathroom remodeling contractor in La Habra.
Service Area FAQs
Which of your service areas are in Orange County?
La Habra and Brea. Rowland Heights, South Whittier and Hacienda Heights are across the line in Los Angeles County, where they are unincorporated communities rather than cities.
Who issues the permit for a bathroom remodel in my town?
In La Habra or Brea, the city’s own building division. In South Whittier, Hacienda Heights or Rowland Heights, it’s LA County Public Works, through its EPIC-LA portal.
Is the estimate free outside La Habra?
Yes, in all five places. Call (562) 662-3566 to book one.
Are the water-saving fixture rules the same in each town?
The state sets the baseline for all five. SB 407 is state law, and CALGreen, Part 11 of California’s Title 24, sets statewide minimums. Under CALGreen, a new toilet uses no more than 1.28 gallons per flush and a new showerhead no more than 1.8 gallons per minute.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, wherever the job is. Any California contractor can be checked on cslb.ca.gov, the Contractors State License Board’s site, where the lookup takes a license number, a business name or the name of someone on the license.
