Huntington Park, CA Building Safety: Plumbing Permits (2026)

Title 8, Chapter 5 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code is the Plumbing Code of the City of Huntington Park. Section 8-5.02 adopts by reference Chapters 2 through 17 and Appendices A, B, D, H, I and J of Title 28, the 2019 Los Angeles County Plumbing Code adopting the 2019 California Plumbing Code, as amended and in effect on or before January 1, 2020, under Government Code Sections 50022.1 through 50022.10. A copy with the City's amendments is on file with the Building and Safety Division and the Building Official.

Section 8-5.01, section 107.1, is the permit rule. No person erects, alters, installs, repairs, moves, improves, removes, connects or converts plumbing equipment or fixtures without first obtaining a plumbing permit from the building official. The permit covers fixtures, traps, tailpieces and valves, drainage, vent, waste and soil piping, water piping that is potable or nonpotable but connected to a potable source, and gas piping located within or on any building, structure or premises.

Section 107.2 exempts three jobs: clearing stoppages and stopping leaks that do not replace plumbing; changing residential toilets, bathroom hand sinks, bathtubs and kitchen sinks without replacing the existing waste and vent piping excluding the trap; and connecting an appliance with flexible gas piping to a gas shutoff valve that was previously permitted and inspected. An exemption does not authorize work that violates other laws.

Section 106.1 adds separate Plumbing Code plan review for restaurants needing a grease trap or grease interceptor, any facility needing a sand/grease clarifier, systems with more than 216 waste fixture units, potable water or fuel gas piping required to be 2 inches or larger, medium- or high-pressure gas piping, grey water systems, and sewer ejection systems or lift stations, among others. When the building official requires plans, the applicant applies for the plumbing permit only after the plans are approved.
