Full Breakdown
Perris Municipal Code Section 7.17.110 requires anyone seeking a city building permit for new construction or additions to comply with the state-adopted California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen, 24 CCR Part 11) as a condition of approval. Projects with five or more multifamily units, and new commercial construction or additions exceeding 30 percent of floor area, must provide readily accessible storage and collection areas for blue-container recyclables and green-container organics consistent with the city's three-container program. Where CALGreen's own standards are stricter than the city's, the CALGreen requirement controls; applicants must also comply with construction-and-demolition debris diversion rules.
Violations & Fines
Noncompliance is enforced under Chapter 7.17's general enforcement provisions (§ 7.17.150): a notice of violation can lead to fines of $100 to $500 per violation and delayed permit or occupancy approval.
